An extraordinary espionage saga centered on a refugee from Afghanistan is made public by the prestigious The Times, which shows how easily such characters can penetrate not only the ranks of the government, but also those of the secret services.
The person in question, whose name is not made public but only the pseudonym C2, had lied to secure asylum in the United Kingdom, had managed to work for the Foreign Office, had access to the secrets of the British military and intelligence and to also meet with King Charles before the monarch took the throne.
"The refugee from Afghanistan who is accused of spying for Russia's military intelligence agency also worked for MI6, a court has heard," the Times detailed. He worked with two Prime Ministers and met Charles and Prince William during visits to Afghanistan while working for the British government, while he ended up taking both Russian and British citizenship.
The latter was removed from the alleged spy in 2019 after the British security service, MI5, came to believe that this individual was in fact an agent of the GRU, the Russian military intelligence agency accused of orchestrating the nerve agent attack in Salisbury, a failed attempt to poison Russian-British double agent Sergei Skripal.
The alleged spy himself has continued to deny that he is an agent, or that he poses a risk to the national security of Great Britain, but he claimed that MI5 has accused him of being seen as a Russian asset since the age of 5. The man, identified as C2, entered the UK in 2000 and was granted asylum following his claims that he was fleeing the Taliban and had gone there directly from Afghanistan, at a time when he had lived in Russia for six years.
