LONDON – A Russian spy roll for blood diamonds for weapons in Africa and supplying the Russian army drones, according to the messages that appeared before the London Court that drew their fugitive leader as wishing James Bond.
He claims that Jean -Marsalik – who was named as a major suspect in the largest fraud case in Germany after the war – led the team of the Bulgarians who were sentenced to Monday in the famous Old Bailey court in London.
When the German payment company Wirecard collapsed in 2020, due to creditors of approximately $ 4 billion, Marsalik, the company’s chief operational officer, was upgraded and an international restaurant was launched for the Austrian citizen who is still generally.
The messages revealed in the court indicated that he was in Moscow while he was referring to meetings with GRU and the State Security Service, FSB, in their headquarters known as Lubyanka, and in “the interconnection exercise with FSB youth in the shooting range.” He even presented a personal photo of Russian military fatigue.
The court’s documents also showed that while he was fleeing, he directed a group of amateur agents: Orlene Rousseff, 47; The second in its leader, biser dzhambazov, 44; Ivan Stoyanov, a 33 -year -old mixed fighting fighter known as “The Rock”.
Catherine Ivanova, 33, and Vania Gabrova, 30, was described by the general prosecutors as “Honeytrap” and the competitive swimmer Tihomir Ivanov Ivanchev, 39, who did the rest of the circuit that carried out activities, as the British police said, put in place security and national security at risk.
Prosecutors said that the spies conducted a monitoring of the Russians who target journalists, diplomats and dissidents in Britain, Austria, Spain and Montenegro, and they were driven in Salim for their services.
Using the law enforcement devices called “IMSI Crospers”, prosecutors said they targeted correction barracks, an American base in Stuttgart, Germany, where they believe that Ukrainian soldiers are trained to operate the national air defense batteries. This would help the Russians target them when they returned to Ukraine to operate the missile batteries.
However, after an investigation conducted by the MI5 espionage service, they were arrested on February 8, 2023, where they were prepared to return to Germany with the backed by the used chrysler.
NBC News contacted the Russian Directorate of the General Services of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, known as Gu to comment.
Prosecutors said that the unit did not work directly for Russian intelligence and its members were driven by financial gains. They said that the investigators followed 225,000 dollars, but they believed that at least the same amount was paid in the encrypted currency.
In his rule, Judge Heilard said that the large amounts of money paid for the six Bulgarian spies showed their “value” of their secret activities for Russia.
“Some of the money would have covered its expenses, but not everything,” he said. “This enabled the defendants to live very comfortably. He must think what the defendants are doing was valuable.”
However, the prosecutors said that Rousseff led the spy ring from a reckless guest house in Great Yarmouth, a coastal town on the eastern coast of England, where he hid his huge group of spy equipment, which many of them did.
Rousseff admitted that he was guilty of spying to Russia in November and sentenced to 10 years in prison and eight months. Dahmabzov was imprisoned for 10 years, two months, and Stoyanov for seven years and seven months.
Ivanova was convicted in March with Gabrova and Ivanchiv. She was imprisoned for nine years and eight months. Gabrova and Ivanchiv were sentenced to eight years in prison for each.
When Sextet awaits the ruling, the court documents revealed that more than 80,000 messages were recovered from RousSev and Dzhambazov on the Telgram Correspondence application, after its arrest on February 8, 2023.
They shed light on Marsalik’s lifestyle in Moscow, and revealed that he had participated with intelligence officers and naked girls, and obtained plastic surgery to conceal his identity and said he wanted to “excel James Bond”.
In an attempt to show that he was “not an ideological anti -Western,” Defense lawyers in Roussev presented messages with Marsalik, who, as they said, showed that their client “proves for money” like “everything else does Mr. Rosif.”
The messages, which were not submitted by the general prosecutors as part of the allegations of Russian espionage, showed that the couple discussed a request to help evacuate American and Afghan citizens from Afghanistan during the withdrawal of the US -led forces from the country in August 2021.
“An interesting request from our friends (Type) at the CIA,” said Marsalik. He said: “They need a plane quickly to fly contractors from Afghanistan.” “Do you know anyone somewhat rogue and run large -scale aircraft?”
The goal was to “evacuate about 1,000 Afghan citizens” and “80 American citizens” for Albania, in a deal that he said was agreed between Albanian governments and the United States.
Rousseff said he will ask his father’s contacts in Africa and Marsalik answered: “America needs you, Pax America depends on your broad and cornerstone.”
Rousseff later said that the trip left Kabul shortly before ISIS terrorists Kilo Funf a bomb outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul killed 170 people 13 US service members.
Defending Rousseff in court, King Mark Samars’s lawyer said that the request had come through a private company.
The CIA refused to comment.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan said the couple did not act on a humanitarian basis or based on the direct demand from the US government.
It is still unclear whether roussev is successful in ensuring the trip.
Rousseff and Marcelik also discussed the transfer of diamonds in exchange for weapons.
In the June 2021 exchange, Marsalik asked whether African diamond sellers wanted guns in return or money. “They usually buy weapons, and many of them,” noting that it was not sure whether the rebel or government forces will benefit from the deal. “He claims that the government only, but who knows, this is Africa,” he said.
Three months ago, Rousseff sent a Marsalik correspondent to say he was contacted to provide 886,000 tons of wheat annually to the Cameroon government at a very low price from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
She described it as a “good deal” given the folder, he said that the weapons and sputnik Kovid vaccines are likely to be part of the treatment. “Marsalik replied. With laughing expressive symbols:” anything they need can be organized except for nuclear weapons. “Even nuclear weapons if they pay.”
Other messages were offered glimpses about the life of Marsalik in exile and his efforts to stay at the top of the authorities, including rebuilding the face.
In May 2021, he wrote: “I am trying to improve my skills on some fronts, languages are one of them. In the new league as an international flee, I must surpass James Bond.”
Four months later, in September of that year, Marsalik apologized for his lack of contact, saying that he was “stuck between the mafia, half of Russia’s ambassadors, Gueen, and dozens of naked girls and some players in deep countries who no one knows me who forced me to drink a bottle from a gene.”
After months, Roussev told “another plastic surgery, trying to look differently.”
“Sleep well, sleep is the best solution for this condition,” Rousseff answered.
