A Russian spy ring, shrouded in mystery and cinematic code names, has been exposed as a perilous threat to national security across the United Kingdom and Europe. The ringleader, known as Jackie Chan, orchestrated a sophisticated espionage operation targeting journalists and diplomats.
On Wednesday, six Bulgarians implicated in the ring will face sentencing in London's Central Criminal Court. They could be jailed for up to 14 years. Key figures, including Orlin Roussev and Biser Dzhambazov, have admitted to espionage and identity-related crimes.
The defendants carried out their operations between 2020 and 2023, targeting sensitive locations like a US air base in Germany. The crew's activities at times involved plans against Kremlin opponents, demonstrating their undeniable risk.
