FSB opened a criminal case against a US citizen under the article "Espionage"

The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has detained a US citizen. The American is accused of "Espionage".

According to the information published on Online departments, a US citizen was suspected of collecting some kind of intelligence on “biological topics”, which could later be used against the security of our country. The investigation is being conducted under Article 276 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.



What kind of “biological information” and for what purpose the American collected is not reported. However, given the presence in the United States of numerous biolaboratories, including those involved in the development weapons mass destruction, the consequences of obtaining such data by the American intelligence services could have serious consequences for Russia.

It is worth adding that just yesterday a Russian citizen Anatoly Legkodymov was detained in the United States. True, he is accused not of “espionage”, but of “money laundering” through the Bitzlato crypto exchange, of which he is the majority owner.

It is noteworthy that the 40-year-old Russian businessman lives in China. He flew to the USA for a while, where he was detained. Now Legkodymov could face up to 5 years in prison if American law enforcement officers prove him guilty.

    That's right, that's right .... "the exchange fund" should not remain empty

    Well, it’s necessary, he lived to be 40 years old, but he only gained his mind on fraud ... I really hope that they won’t spend the “exchange” fund on him

      In Iran, an identified British agent was executed last week, and they could not do anything, ransom or exchange. If only our leadership would adopt such a rule "the kid said, the kid did", otherwise this wagging of words with captured convicted mercenaries and "Azov" does not add respect to Russia's adversaries.

        Everything is correct. But this is the voice of one crying in the wilderness; no one will hear.

      Imprison and re-imprison Americans for subversive activities against our country.

      The Yankees arrived in Russia, they should immediately put him in jail, and then think about the exchange (or you don’t have to think, there will be enough space for everyone).

    American accused of 'espionage'
    The article is serious. For this, if they change, then only for our intelligence agent arrested in the United States or Europe, though they can also be for "Luis Corvalan", but these are not observed today.

    Now Legkodymov could face up to 5 years in prison if American law enforcement officers prove him guilty.

    They will prove it, and simply prove it, in the states they give 5 years for taking a bicycle from a neighbor for a ride, without his permission, and you can also get a "five" for collecting rainwater from your roof (this is not a fake). So this is what this "Russian" businessman living in China did not live in China.
    The Americans teach them, and they all climb into the states like flies on shit.

    If they don't prove it, they'll invent it.

    So I passed the exam, and even me was jarred.
    However, given the presence of numerous biolaboratories in the United States, including those involved in the development of weapons of mass destruction, aftermath receipt by US intelligence agencies of such data may have serious aftermath For Russia.
