Kremlin spy suspect arrests may be tip of iceberg, says former German agency chief

He said espionage and sabotage were an integral part of the “standard toolbox of Russian geopolitics”. The secret service activities in Germany exposed by this week’s arrests, he said, were “from that point of view no surprise. Rather, it’s the tip of the iceberg.”He said espionage and sabotage were an integral part of the “standard toolbox of Russian geopolitics”.

I really hope this will be taken more seriously from now on. There is a certain political party I'd like to have thoroughly checked for Russian influence.

There's been imo much news lately about this stuff. Sometimes it feels as if it keeps "hanging " for a long time, and then there is an investigation , and suddenly, arrests.

If this news has been only " the tip of the iceberg " (in Germany and probably all of Europe), like what this expert is saying, then how big is the iceberg?

Alexander J’s mother, with whom he was living with at the time of his arrest, expressed her shock on hearing the news of her son’s alleged activities.

She told Bild he had been “obsessed” with the computer strategy game Panzer Rush. Investigators are reportedly looking into the theory that he might have used the game’s internal chat function to communicate with Russian intelligence agents.

Fuckin lol
