I'm just making a guess here - is the term you're lookig for "quisling"? Thats a synonym for traitor, particularly on who collaborates with the invaders. Ther term came into use atter Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling, who was a Norwegian cabinet member who collaborated with the Nazi's during WWII. |

Depends. If it's one of ours, he is a traitor, if it's one of theirs' a rehabilitated foe. |

To disown allegiance to one's country and take up residence in another: a Soviet citizen who defected to Israel.
To abandon a position or association, often to join an opposing group: defected from the party over the issue of free trade. |

In politics, a defector is a person who gives up allegiance to one state or political entity in exchange for allegiance to another. The term is sometimes used as a synonym for traitor, especially if the defector brings with him secrets or confidential information. |

Double agent? Traitor?
PS: a defector is not necessarily a spy. Look it up.
