Russian spy inside American Embassy for ten years

The woman, a Russian citizen, worked for the United States Secret Service for years before, suspected that during a routine review of the State Security Department's security office in 2016, the official said.

The security office found that the woman had made regular and unauthorized meetings with the Russian intelligence service FSB.

Regional security offices announced the embassy in January 2017, and the woman was dismissed last summer.

We knew it was happening and it was just a process to catch it. He gave her specific information and we caught him sending it to the FSB,” the official said.

The woman had access to the Secret Service Institute and email systems, but the official said this was not about national security issues.

It had no access to classified information,” the official said.
