Two UK embassy workers have been told to leave Moscow within two weeks, the FSB has said
Two British diplomats have had their accreditation revoked in Russia after engaging in espionage activities, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said.
In a statement on Monday, the agency said its operatives had “discovered an undeclared intelligence presence” at the UK Embassy in Moscow.
Two British diplomats were found to have been “carrying out intelligence and subversive work that threatens Russia’s security,” the statement alleged.
It has been established that the UK Embassy’s second secretary and the husband of the first secretary of the embassy’s political department intentionally provided false information when receiving permission to enter Russia, thus violating the country’s laws, the FSB said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry, in cooperation with other agencies, therefore decided to revoke the accreditation of the two diplomats, ordering them to leave the country within two weeks, it added.
