Russian Spy Ring Convicted Of ‘Industrial Scale’ Espionage On UK Soil

Six members of a Russian proxy spy ring dubbed “the Minions” are facing years behind bars for one of the “largest and most complex” enemy operations to be uncovered on UK soil. Bulgarians Katrin Ivanova, 33, Vanya Gaberova, 30, and Tihomir Ivanov Ivanchev, 39, were found guilty at the Old Bailey of spying on an “industrial scale”, putting lives and national security at risk. They engaged in a series of surveillance and intelligence operations over three years in which they were referred to as Despicable Me’s yellow sidekicks. Instead of a cartoon evil mastermind Gru, the defendants acted as spies working for the Russian intelligence service, also known as GRU. They were directed by alleged Russian agent Jan Marsalek, 44, an Austrian businessman wanted by Interpol after the collapse of German payment processing firm Wirecard. Marsalek acted as a go-between for Russian intelligence and ringleader Orlin Roussev, 47, in Great Yarmouth who received more than 200,000 euros (over £165,600) to fund the spying activities. Peter Cardwell is joined by Putin's number one foreign critic Bill Browder.
