A spy ring in the UK passed secrets to Russia for nearly three years, endangering the national interest and putting 'many lives at risk', a court has been told.
Two female Russian spies in a love triangle were to be used as 'honeytraps' in a surveillance operation on targets across Europe, run from the UK, a court has been told.

'There are messages about Russia in general and direct references to President Putin in particular,' Ms Morgan said. When police raided Roussev's home in Great Yarmouth, they found it packed with technical equipment including 221 mobile phones, 258 hard drives, 495 SIM cards, 55 visual recording devices and 11 drones. There were also Wi-Fi eavesdropping devices and items including jammers, cyber exploitation hardware, hacking software, card readers and GPS trackers.
