"A love-struck suspected Moscow mole from Brooklyn who tried to infiltrate US political and media circles has pleaded guilty to lying to the feds - after drunkenly texting an FBI agent, "Catch me, baby." Bleached-blonde 35-year-old Nomma Zarubina was originally busted in November 2024 on charges she fibbed about her dealings with Kremlin spies and freed on bail - till her flirty late-night messages to the G-man surfaced, and she landed behind bars in December."
"A judge repeatedly warned her to stop texting the agent, but Zarubina continued to message him - including 65 more times during a single night in November 2025, telling him "I love you" and then, after not receiving a reply, calling him a "b-h."' In the texting, the Russian native also name-dropped Maria Butina, an admitted Russian agent who served 15 months in prison for infiltrating conservative networks to influence US Republican politics."
Nomma Zarubina, a 35-year-old Brooklyn resident, pleaded guilty to lying to federal agents after allegations she worked for the Kremlin. She admitted during summer 2024 FBI meetings that she operated under the code name "Alyssa" and began working for Russian handlers in December 2020. Russian agents reportedly directed her to network at Washington, DC think tanks, with the US military community, and among journalists. She was arrested in November 2024 on charges of concealing contacts with Kremlin operatives and released on bail before further incriminating texts emerged. Late-night, flirtatious messages to an FBI agent, including "Catch me, baby" and name‑dropping Maria Butina, led to her jailing and guilty plea.
