A Bulgarian man who was found to be the ringleader of a Russian spy circle in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, a London judge ruled on Monday.
Orlin Roussev, 47, headed a group of five fellow Bulgarians who prosecutors said put lives in danger as they carried out operations in the UK, Germany, Austria, Spain and Montenegro between 2020 and 2023 on behalf of Russian intelligence.
