FSB arrest former US embassy worker in Russia and accuse him of spying

Показать описание
Russia’s intelligence agency has detained a former long-time local staffer of the U.S. consulate and is pressing spying charges against him in a rare direct attack against diplomatic missions.
Robert Shonov, who worked at the U.S. consulate in Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East for 25 years, was arrested in March but the FSB did not release the details of the case against him until now.
The FSB in a statement on Monday said it “thwarted illegal activities of an informant of the U.S. embassy in Moscow” and charged him with “confidential cooperation” with a foreign state, a crime less grave than spying, punishable by up to eight years in prison.
