Russia Seeks Spy Swap

An attorney for Igor Sutyagin, a Russian military expert sentenced in 2004 to fifteen years of imprisonment on espionage charges, said that her client, among other convicts, will be deported from Russia in exchange for the “Russian spies” captured in the U.S. (ten individuals were recently arrested and were accused of secretly working for Russia). Another possible candidate for the exchange is former military intelligence (GRU) colonel, Sergey Skripal, who was sentenced in Russia in 2006 to thirteen years imprisonment for espionage.
