FSB uncovered spies in the British Embassy in Moscow

The Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation in the course of counterintelligence work revealed the undeclared intelligence presence of Great Britain under the guise of the national embassy in Moscow.

"It has been reliably established that the second secretary of the Embassy Alkesh Odedra, born on 12/25/1990, and Michael Skinner, born on 30.06.1992, the spouse of the first secretary of the political department of the embassy Tabasum Rashid, who were sent to Moscow, deliberately provided false information when receiving permission to enter our country, which violated Russian legislation. At the same time, the FSB of Russia revealed signs of intelligence and subversive work by these diplomats that threatens the security of the Russian Federation," the Russian special service said.

It is noted that the FSB of Russia will continue to work on countering the intelligence and subversive activities of foreign special services by all available methods.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry informed that it had summoned a representative of the British Embassy in connection with the withdrawal of accreditation for signs of intelligence activities.
