Surely it should say his "espionage was detected" if he's a spy as per the title?
Although the article does not suggest he is a spy. Perhaps the title should be changed his deportation might have been a sore spot and it seems unfair to label him definitively a spy if it's not so certain.

The artistic images he left behind suggest something else. ... > There is no direct evidence that Manhoff was a spy during his time in the U.S.S.R. His military records contain no indication that espionage was a formal part of his duties. After the Soviet newspaper Trud alleged that the Americans had been taking note of various infrastructure while traveling the Trans-Siberian Railway, U.S. authorities declined to comment. And to this day U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to discuss the issue.
