Russia Detains American in Moscow Over Suspected Spying
Russia’s domestic security service (FSB) said on Monday that it had detained an American citizen suspected of spying in Moscow.
The FSB, which said the American had been detained on Dec. 28, said in a statement that a criminal case had been opened against him. It did not provide any detail about the nature of the alleged espionage.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow could not immediately be reached for comment.
