After the spying convictions of six Bulgarians, police have warned of further Russian operations against opponents

Summary

A second Kremlin-linked spy ring has been uncovered in the UK, targeting Russian dissidents, including journalist Roman Dobrokhotov.

Six Bulgarian nationals were previously convicted of spying for Russia, with ties to Jan Marsalek, an alleged Russian agent.

The group had discussed poisoning or abducting Dobrokhotov, prompting UK police to warn him of ongoing threats. Authorities believe Russian military intelligence has taken over surveillance efforts.
