Germany’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office said on Tuesday that two people have been accused of spying for Russia.
The two suspects were a 45-year-old Romanian woman, who was detained in the northwestern German city of Rheine, and a 43-year-old Ukrainian man, who was arrested in the southeastern Spanish city of Elda.
