Ten people accused of spying for Russia were arrested in the U.S.; one alleged spy remains at large. According to the DoJ, the spies’ main mission was to “search and develop ties in policymaking circles.” All ten are charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the U.S. Attorney General. All but two are also accused of money laundering. While the conspiracy charge carries a maximum of five years in prison, the money laundering charge may result in a 20-year sentence. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said that DoJ’s actions “are groundless and pursue improper objects.”
