French police have arrested four people, including a Russian woman who runs a France-based non-profit group, on suspicion of spying for a foreign power.
Prosecutors in Paris said on Wednesday that three of the people charged had been placed in provisional detention. A fourth man, also accused of “colluding with a foreign power”, was banned from leaving France and has to check in with police.
Two of the people, prosecutors added, were of Russian nationality. This includes a Franco-Russian woman, named by authorities as “Anna N”, who founded the SOS Donbass association, which describes itself as helping people in the eastern Ukrainian region.
