[/caption]This sounds like something directly out of a Tom Clancy novel. Intelligent, well off, and gorgeous young woman, Anna Chapman, was arrested on charges that she has participated in espionage activity for Russia.
At worst this sounds like an elaborate hoax; at best it means that we can add a little more credit to the James Bond movie franchise. News reports are coming in that the Russian born, 28-year-old was arrested, along with 10 other Russian spies.
The FBI is claiming that the pretty spy (who happens to have a masters degree in economics), her own real estate business, and was residing in a lovely New York apartment in the Financial District, has been passing information to the Russian government since January.
The Feds supposedly infiltrated the “spy ring” by having one agent pose as a Russian official who corresponded with Chapman by email, and eventually asked her to complete a “mission” by delivering a fake passport to another female in the spy ring.
Other individuals in this ring include some normal seeming middle aged couples who were evidently ordered by Russian officials to become “Americanized”, and to report back to Russia with any information they can gather, after infiltrating policy-making circles and making friends with important individuals in the United States.
It is nice to see that the FBI is finally doing their job by successfully recognizing a threat against America, building a case against the individuals, and shutting down the operation without any apparent mishaps.
It looks like the Feds have been watching these individuals for a while, and have a lengthy list of espionage activities that the people arrested committed over the past few years. It will be interesting to see how the court case against the Russian spies develops in the coming months.
