| Russia expels Romanian diplomat for spying |
| 2010-08-16 |
| MOSCOW — Russia's FSB security agency on Monday detained a Romanian diplomat for spying, and he was ordered to leave the country within 48 hours, an agency spokesman told AFP. Sort of like the Amityville Horror: "GET. OUT." "Gabriel Grecu... was detained by FSB in Moscow on August 16 during an attempt to receive secret information of a military nature from a Russian citizen," the spokesman said, claiming that Grecu worked for a Romanian intelligence agency. Romania's foreign ministry had no comment. "Items of spying equipment that fully reveal his hostile activity against Russia have been confiscated from the intelligence officer," the spokesman told AFP on customary condition of anonymity. Items of spying equipment: a camera inside a cufflink? A short-wave radio in the sole of a shoe? |
