Short Description
"Jakob Segal (17 April 1911 – 30 September 1995) was a Russian-born German biology professor at Humboldt University of Berlin in the former East Germany. He was one of the advocates of the conspiracy theory that HIV was created by the United States government at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, KGB defector Vasili Mitrokhin and two former members of East Germany´s secret police revealed that Segal was a Soviet disinformation agent who worked for the KGB." - (en.wikipedia.org 18.08.2020)
