A large-scale espionage trial continues in London, in which a group of agents is suspected of working on behalf of former Wirecard manager Jan Marsalek for the Russian intelligence agency.
Now two of the five defendants have pleaded guilty.
In the course of the investigation, it became clear about the proximity of the stosunki between the Bulgarians Vanya Gaberova and the Beads of the Jambas.
According to the prosecution, Vanya Gaberova was supposed to seduce a well-known journalist Hriso Grozev in order to make dirt that could then be used for espionage purposes.
According to information, Hriso Grozev has long been a "bone in the throat" of the Kremlin. In particular, due to the fact that he solved Russian special operations, also investigated the MH17 crash, the murder of Vadim Krasikov in Berlin, and dealt with the poisoning of Alexey Navalny.
However, Jambasov's former neighbors said that he lives with Ivanova, another suspect in espionage. They were called a couple. In addition, they head a public organization that allegedly introduces Bulgarians to the culture and norms of British society.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan said the defendants used "sophisticated methods" and high-tech tools to carry out their espionage operations. For this, they received "huge amounts of money" and realized that their actions were aimed at the interests of Russia.
Jan Marsalek has been in hiding since June 2020 after the bankruptcy of Wirecard, and, according to the latest data, is in Russia, living under an imaginary identity, according to the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Russian platform dossier.
