Three Bulgarian nationals based in the UK were convicted of espionage charges linked to Russia. Their activities were connected to a London-based spy network led by Jan Marsalek, an Austrian-born Russian agent, which aimed to target journalists. One notable target was Christo Grozev from Bellingcat, whose investigative work has drawn unwanted attention. The case illustrates the dangers faced by journalists and how they can become victims of international intrigue and complex espionage operations.
"The case brings to light the reality of how international espionage can involve complex networks targeting specific individuals, such as journalists who expose truths."
"Dan Sabbagh outlines how a simple inquiry from a high-profile figure can lead to an extensive espionage investigation against a person known for his journalistic integrity."
