Bulgarian Nationals Accused in Russian Spy Ring

News summary

Three Bulgarian nationals, Katrin Ivanova, Vanya Gaberova, and Tihomir Ivanchev, are on trial in London accused of participating in a sophisticated Russian spy ring. The prosecution claims they conducted surveillance on individuals and locations across Europe, using advanced technology and creating false identities to gather sensitive information for Russia between 2020 and 2023. The defendants allegedly received significant payments for their activities, which included espionage at strategic sites like the US military base in Stuttgart. Two other members of the network, Orlin Roussev and Biser Dzhambazov, have already pleaded guilty to espionage charges. Ivanova, Gaberova, and Ivanchev deny the charges, including conspiracy to spy and possession of false identity documents. The trial is expected to last several months, with claims that their actions posed a serious threat to UK national security.
