The Old Bailey trial revealed a Russian-directed spy ring led by fugitive Jan Marsalek and Bulgarian Orlin Roussev in the UK. Marsalek, an Austrian-born agent, directed espionage activities from Moscow, targeting adversaries of the Russian state. Roussev, residing in Great Yarmouth, managed elaborate operations throughout Europe, leveraging a vast cache of surveillance equipment and forged documents. Despite other members facing legal actions, Marsalek remains at large, emphasizing ongoing concerns over international espionage and national security threats from Russian operatives in western territories.
"The network was guided from Moscow and led by Jan Marsalek, a fugitive who directed operations against adversaries of the Russian state through his deputy, Orlin Roussev, based in the UK."
"Orlin Roussev directed operations in Europe from the UK and gathered extensive surveillance equipment and forged documents, portraying a significant threat to national security."
