A London jury convicted Katrin Ivanova, Vanya Gaberova, and Tihomir Ivanchev of espionage for Russia, revealing a sophisticated operation involving threats against journalists and military targets. The trio, entangled in personal relationships, denied awareness of the espionage plot, while prosecutors outlined severe actions planned, including kidnappings. Their operations reportedly spanned several countries from 2020 to 2023. The group’s ringleader, Orlin Roussev, had already pleaded guilty, and the police uncovered significant surveillance equipment during raids, indicating high-level espionage on behalf of the Kremlin.
