Description:

Six Bulgarians have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms for spying for the Kremlin in the UK and across Europe.

During a trial in London, the Old Bailey court heard the cell was paid handsomely for their services, which included spying on two journalists who had exposed nerve agent attacks on Russian dissidents Alexei Navalny and Sergei Skripal.

The sentencing judge said the group's activities had posed a serious risk to the UK's national security.

Ringleader Orlin Roussev, 47, was jailed for 10 years and eight months. His deputy, Biser Dzhambazov, 44, was sentenced to 10 years and two months.
