Lawmakers in Europe were shocked by allegations that a member of the European Parliament representing Latvia was secretly working as a spy for Russia. Tatiana Zhdanuka worked to arrange personal meetings with her contacts in the Russian intelligence services, between Moscow and Brussels.
The head of the Legal Affairs Committee and Spanish parliamentarian, Adrian Vázquez Lazara, called for a review process to determine the policies that allowed Shadanuka to commit this sin. Russia has always had well-placed sources of information in European countries, and Shdanuka is by no means alone.
