RF recruits more and more spies in Europe: in Britain have already detained three

To spread: Three were arrested in Essex on suspicion of assisting Russian intelligence. And the police report an increase in the number of recruiters and calls on anyone who wants to engage in criminal activity in the interests of a foreign state, "think again". Two men and one woman have already arrested in the UK on suspicion of assisting Russian intelligence as part of an investigation into terrorism, Sky News reports. A 41-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were arrested at Grace.

And at the other address in the Grace area, a 46-year-old man was arrested. The London police reported that the suspects were sent to the London police station and detained in accordance with the Law on National Security. Police officers searched for two addresses in Essex, and all three were released under the conditional pledge until the investigation was ongoing.

Police Commander Dominic Murphy, the head of the London Police Counterorist Unit, said the police are faced with "more and more people we would call" trusted persons "who are recruited by foreign intelligence services. " Commander Murphy cited as an example of the case of two Britons who are expecting a sentence after the Russian PEC "Wagner" recruited them to commit arson -related composition in Eastern London. "They are threatened with potentially long time imprisonment.

Although it is worth clarifying that today's arrests are not related to this investigation," he said. Earlier, the UK government exposed dozens of agents, including two who pursued the daughter of Sergei Skripal. And also those who have arranged explosions and sabotages, both in Britain and in EU countries. Meanwhile, the official Beijing requires explanations about the new Embassy of the PRC in London, which will be placed directly opposite Tower.
