The two Russian spies arrested in
2022 and released last week as part of a prisoner swap between
the West and Russia have revealed that while in prison in
Slovenia, they were visited by a member of the Russian foreign
intelligence service SVR, according to Slovenian news agency
STA. STA requested a comment from the Slovenian government,
which declined, according to the agency.
Artyom Dulcev and Ana Dulceva, who were arrested in Slovenia
in December 2022, gave an exclusive interview to Russian state
television station Rossiya 1 after returning to Moscow. The
spies, who lived in Slovenia under a fictitious Argentinian
identity, also claimed that while in prison, Argentina wanted to
take their two children away from them. Dulceva stated that she
believed the Slovenian intelligence service did everything
possible to keep the children in Slovenia and the family intact,
STA reported.
