Russian spies were caught in New York City earlier today. One was arrested while two others got away. They were based in Manhattan with the goal of gathering economic intelligence and recruiting more spies. The man they arrested is Evgeny Buryakov. While in New York, he was seen as working with a Russian bank, but in reality was working for Russian intelligence services. Apparently the spies were using coded messages to send information to their home base in Moscow. Buryakov was set to see a Federal Judge today.
This was written by Shimon Prokupecz earlier today to inform the public of an alleged spy that could've put our country at risk. While the press has a right to freely present information to the public, there are times when giving out information about police cases can get in the way of investigations. There was not a whole lot of valuable information concerning the contents of this case, but even small things such as releasing the fact that the FBI was able to take hold of encoded Russian messages could give the spy ring a heads up on what to avoid next time they try to infiltrate our country. I suspect that this limited account of the run-in with Russian spies has something to do with the FBI trying to withhold any useful information from unwanted ears.
That's so terrible! I hope they figure out what to do with him because I feel like he needs to be punished and I'm glad we got to figure out he was a spy before any further harm could've been done.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that they were able to catch them before the Juno storm happens tonight and people are forced to stay in their homes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Russians are just bitter because of the collapse of the rouble and they're just trying to scare us. After all, we are partly responsible.
