ai generated text

Three Bulgarians, Katrin Ivanova, Vanya Gaberova, and Tihomir Ivanchev, were convicted of spying for Russia. They were living in London before their arrest, where they were convicted in a jury trial. Their operation was ultimately directed by Jan Marsalek, an Austrian businessman who fled to Russia in 2020 after his company collapsed.

    2. This was spying on an almost industrial scale on behalf of Russia, the Russian state and Russian intelligence services.
    3. Really sophisticated devices – the sort of thing you would really expect to see in a spy novel – were found here, in Great Yarmouth and London.
    4. Reading some of the messages and content on the devices you might be tempted to think this is not a serious threat.
