Germany charges three people with spying for Russia, potentially with intent to kill
- German authorities charged three men with spying for a Russian intelligence agency after arresting them in Frankfurt on June 19, 2024.
- The case stems from an order issued in early May 2024 for one of the accused to conduct surveillance on a man residing in Germany who had served in Ukraine's armed forces following Russia's invasion in 2022.
- The suspects, Robert A. , Vardges I. , and Arman S. , allegedly tried to lure the man to a Frankfurt café to gather intelligence.
- The Federal Prosecutor's Office described the case as "particularly serious," saying no meeting ever took place and the men remain in custody as of May 16 filings.
- This case fits a broader pattern of Russian espionage and attacks in Europe, which have included plots to kill Ukraine-linked individuals and sabotage support efforts.
