Alla S., a 45-year-old Romanian citizen, has been arrested in Rheine, Germany, on suspicion of espionage on behalf of a Russian intelligence agency. She and a 43-year-old Ukrainian man arrested in Spain are accused of spying on a German businessman who supplies drones and drone components to Ukraine. The German Federal Prosecutor ordered the arrests, highlighting concerns about Russian intelligence activities targeting the German arms industry, particularly companies supporting Ukraine. This case underscores the heightened risk of espionage and potential attacks against individuals and businesses involved in supplying military equipment to Ukraine, as security agencies have warned. The drone manufacturer targeted had openly supported Ukraine, making them a potential target for Russian intelligence. The arrests demonstrate the active counterintelligence efforts to disrupt such activities.
