A woman accused of spying for Moscow told the Old Bailey she believed she was working for Interpol after a man showed her a fake ID and told her he could enrol her at “police school in Wembley”.
On her first day of giving evidence, London-based Vanya Gaberova, a 30-year-old beautician, said she did not question Bizer Dzhambazov, 43, who also told her that untrained people such as her were better at surveillance because they did not stand out in a crowd.
