A Russian spy infiltrated NATO command offices and had an affair with a member of staff while posing as a social climber who had set up a jewellery business in Naples, according to a new investigative report.
Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera told Italian friends she had a German dad and a Peruvian mum, and was born in the city of Callao in Peru, as she became a familiar face on NATO social scene.
She had moved around Europe before in 2013 settling in Naples, where NATO’s Allied Joint Force Command is based, and setting up a jeweller’s shop called Serein.
