The FBI agent's again turned in the Europeans (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

germans

'europeans' is the definition.
(German is an example)

'the fbi agent's again turned in' is the wordplay.
'the fbi agent's' becomes 'Gmans' ('G-man' can be a synonym of 'fbi agent').
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
're' back-to-front is 'er'.
'gmans' placed around 'er' is 'GERMANS'.

'the' acts as a link.
