An Italian Navy frigate captain arrested in 2021 for spying for Russia has been sentenced to 29 years in prison by the Supreme Court in Rome - the sentence is final.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Supreme Court, the last instance in the Italian judicial system, found it proven that the captain handed over confidential NATO documents to a Russian diplomat and received 5,000 euros in return. He was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment in the first instance last January.
"Secret meeting" in the parking lot
Two Russian diplomats were expelled from Italy in 2021 as a result of the espionage affair. The case had caused tensions between Italy and Moscow.
In March 2021, the frigate captain had appeared in a parking lot in Rome for a "secret meeting" with a Russian officer who worked at the embassy.
The man was arrested just as he was about to hand over the documents to the Russian. He has been in custody in Rome ever since.
