Russian spy ring used beautician as bait to spy on journalist who exposed Kremlin poisonings.

A Russian spy ring led by Orlin Roussev attempted to use beautician Vanya Gaberova as "bait" to gather information on investigative journalist Christo Grozev, who exposed Kremlin links to the Salisbury poisonings. The ring, which included Jan Marsalek, aimed to set up a fake romance with Grozev. Gaberova and four others are on trial for espionage, while Roussev and another defendant have pleaded guilty. The group allegedly conducted six spy operations over nearly three years, targeting individuals and places of interest to Russia.
