MOSCOW: Russia on Monday kicked out a British diplomat over allegations he was working as a spy -- charges rejected by London as “complete nonsense”.
Moscow and London have each expelled multiple embassy staff over the last decade, trading accusations of espionage. Expulsions from one side have typically been followed by a tit-for-tat response from the other. The diplomat was expelled for engaging in “subversive intelligence activities that threaten Russia´s security”, Russia´s FSB security service said.
