...arrived; they had apparently been alerted by a message on an illegal short-wave radio that was found in their apartment. Reiner Paul Fülle, 40, an accountant for a Karlsruhe plant that recycles nuclear fuel, was caught by the Bundeskriminalamt, West Germany's equivalent of the FBI. But when the lone agent assigned to drive Fülle to jail reached the prison and got out of the car the prisoner, who unaccountably had not been manacled, leaped out too and disappeared into the darkness.

Part of the reason it is not higher is that the FBI, which once gloried in stopping John Dillinger and Willie Sutton, is now turning its attention toward the bigger-money white-collar crimes, such as embezzlement and bribery.
