3 Bulgarian nationals have been found guilty of spying for Russia in the UK. A London court convicted Katrin Ivanova, 43, Vanya Gaberova, 30, and Tihomir Ivanchev, 39, of carrying out surveillance for Russian intelligence. They spied on journalists, diplomats, and Ukrainian soldiers. Their leader, Orlin Roussev, received €200,000 for the operations. The group used hidden spy devices and planned fake protests. Some members had links to Austrian businessman Jan Marsalek, a wanted Russian agent. They will be sentenced in May and could face up to 14 years in prison.
