Former U.S. Marine is charged with spying in Russia

(DailYMail) Paul Whelan is charged with spying in Russia after he was arrested in Moscow on December 28 amid allegations he procured a memory stick with a secret list of Russian agents. The Dual US-UK national insists he was not spying and was in Moscow for a wedding. He appeared in court today and said there was ‘nothing legitimate’ about arrest before accusing investigators of making threats to his life and being abusive. Whelan also asked to send a message to Donald Trump but was told to stay silent. The US embassy said it was extremely concerned.
