Can you be more precise about whether you’re referring to the American company or its foreign subsidiaries? My understanding is that it would be a violation of the CIA’s charter to plant a spy within an American company’s domestic arm, though of course the CIA does set up American front companies. Embedding officers within foreign subsidiaries of American multinationals seems more likely, but even that sounds close to crossing the line.
