“ The British police announced the arrest of three men suspected of collaborating with Russian intelligence. Source: “European Truth” with reference to the Reuters agency. Details: The detainees are 48, 45 and 44 years old. They were arrested at addresses in west and central London. Police said those addresses, as well as another location, are currently being searched. The counter-terrorism unit is leading the investigation. “We are seeing an increasing number of cases of foreign intelligence agencies recruiting so-called ‘facilitators’ and these arrests are directly related to our efforts to stop this activity,” said Dominic Murphy, head of London’s counter-terrorism police. The detention took place under the National Security Act, passed in 2023, which expands the ability to prosecute people suspected of espionage. We will remind: In mid-October, the British domestic intelligence service MI5 published a warning to members of parliament that they are a target for spies from China, Russia and Iran. In June, the trial of six suspects in the arson attack in London commissioned by Wagner’s group began in Britain. In May, Britain sentenced six Bulgarian citizens to prison for spying for Russia.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
