Spaniards Unmasked Russia’s Spy
Spain’s secret services have detained a double agent that was passing information to Russia, El Pais reported with reference to Alberto Saiz, chief of national intelligence in Spain.
Certain Roberto Florez Garcia was arrested in Tenerife late Monday. For sizeable remuneration, Garcia had been in contact with Russia’s intelligence from December 2001 to February 2004, when employed in the Center of National Intelligence of Spain.
Garcia is suspected of passing the data on internal structure of national intelligence, on activities of counter-intelligence services and of betraying dozens of agents.
Though the double agent was of no threat to national security, Saiz said, the case is unique in history of the country’s intelligence. The Tenerife Court has Garcia’s case now.
