The Anti-Terrorism Police of Great Britain on Monday, June 13, detained a man “40 years old” at the London airport of Gatvik, writes The Sun with reference to the police representative.
It is noted that we are talking about a Russian, suspected of espionage and sabotage “in favor of a hostile state.”
As RBC reports, the authorities believe that the man was in the kingdom with the aim of “espionage in the interests of the regime” of Vladimir Putin.
“He was watched and he was detained upon arrival in Gatvik when he tried to leave the country,” the source added. The detainee was taken to the police department in the Hammersmit area. It is not known where he planned to fly away. The detention was the result of a joint investigation of the counter -terrorist command of the metropolitan police and Mi5.
