A “sophisticated” UK-based spy ring that passed secrets to Russia for nearly three years has been found guilty of espionage, in one of the most complex investigations carried out by the Met Police.
Bulgarian nationals Katrin Ivanova, 33, Vanya Gaberova, 30, and Tihomir Ivanov Ivanchev, 39, formed part of a group that carried out surveillance on Russian dissidents and put “many lives at risk”, with plans to even kidnap and kill certain targets.
