Latvian Member Of European Parliament Reportedly Leaked Information To Russian Intelligence

Latvian MEP Tatjana Zdanoka has reportedly collaborated with Russian intelligence for two decades.

Tatjana Zdanoka, a Latvian member of the European Parliament, has been a trusted asset of Russian intelligence for two decades, an investigative report by The Insider, in collaboration with the news site Delfi Estonia, Latvia’s Re:Baltica, and Sweden’s Expressen newspaper, claimed on January 29. The report says leaked emails between Zdanoka and her two Russian case officers include explicit, detailed reports describing her work as a European legislator, particularly as those official duties relate to fostering pro-Kremlin sentiment in the Baltic region. She did not deny the authenticity of the e-mails but did not give detailed comments on their contents. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
