US Unseals Charges Against Five in Alleged Russian Intelligence Assassination Network
US prosecutors have unsealed an indictment charging five individuals with conspiring to finance terrorism and commit murder for hire on behalf of Russian intelligence services. The alleged network, described as a 'global assassination network,' targeted Russian dissidents in the US and Lithuania, as well as civilian and military infrastructure in European nations supporting Ukraine. All five defendants remain at large, and the FBI claims to have disrupted the plots through cross-border cooperation.
