An unidentified US citizen has been charged with espionage in Russia, German state media Deutsche Welle reports, citing an FSB press release. It’s unclear if the person has actually been arrested (even though the DW headline says “detained,” the text of the article says otherwise).
“The American is suspected of collecting intelligence on biological topics directed against the security of the Russian Federation,” the FSB press release says. In lieu of other details, we’ll simply add that maybe American citizens should just stay the fuck out of Russia rather than be arrested on bullshit charges and held hostage by the Putin regime for months or even years.
