Russian spies in Germany arrested while listening to Number Stations

Sunday, October 23, 2011

A Russia couple was arrested in Germany recently and accused of espionage. Details are a little sketchy right now, but inital reports say the wife was arrested at home and was "writing down a covert message sent by radio" at the time of her arrest!

Russian Spies arrested in Germany

We shall have to keep a close eye on this one, perhaps our German members can make a freedom of information request once the court case is over, would be great if we could identify the station they were using. That brings another point, keep your ear on those stations. We noticed some s06s broadcasts changed a few weeks back, so keep an ear our for changes in stations. (Although if I were running a station I would keep broadcasts going, so the enemy can't work out they got the right spy etc. Disinformation is key)
