The intelligence officer was denied entry to the Netherlands in April, after which he was sent to Brazil on the first flight.
The Russian Federation plans to use its own spy as a trainee at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. However, he was caught. It was reported to the General Intelligence and Security Service of the Netherlands (AIVD).
“The AIVD prevented a Russian intelligence officer from gaining access as a trainee at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. The person in question worked for the GRU of Russian military intelligence, but used a fictitious Brazilian identity to travel from in Brazil to the Netherlands, ”the press service wrote.
An intelligence officer was denied entry to the Netherlands in April and then sent to Brazil on the first flight. The AIVD considers him a threat to national security and the agency informed the Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service in an official report.
It was noted that the spy identified himself as a Brazilian citizen, Victor Muller Ferreira, although his real name was Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov. The man hid his connections to Russia and intelligence, especially.
At the same time, Dutch intelligence added that “illegal” spies are difficult to identify, as they pretend to be foreigners and have access to information that Russian citizens cannot access.
“The International Criminal Court is investigating possible war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine. The ICC is also investigating war crimes that took place during Russia’s war in Georgia in 2008. For these reasons, the secret access to information from the International Criminal Court will be very important for Russia’s intelligence agencies.The illegal must begin an internship with the ICC, which means he will have access to the ICC building and systems.
If the spy is given access to the ICC as a trainee, he is likely to influence criminal court proceedings.
Recall that ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan visited Ukraine, specifically Bucha, and assembled a group of investigators collecting evidence in the liberated territories.
