[SOURCE: A CONFIDENTIAL POLICE REPORT]
In Germany, around the end of 1993, word spreads that a German businesswoman, Christina Klein, is looking for a buyer for enriched uranium. German cops learn of this, tap her phone and deploy undercover agents to investigate, including one agent going by the name "Boden." A series of apparently unconnected sellers say they have the goods. But the stuff doesn't immediately materialize.
From the phone taps, the German police learn on February 13, 1994, of a Russian named Tigran who offers Ms. Klein 4.7 kilograms of uranium. Tigran later disappears.
