> A James Bond scenario: Russian killers had a rear base in Haute-Savoie, and stopped there between two operations in Europe. French and Anglo-Saxon intelligence services tracked Russian agents who attempted to assassinate Serguei Skripal in March 2018 in Salisbury, England, and discovered that spies still passed through the French Alps. For the editorialist of Europe 1 Vincent Hervouet, all this has the false airs of cold war.
"We know that spies like Switzerland, a peaceful country where bankers are as secret as executioners, the coffers silent as a tomb under the snow, but it was not known that the Russian military intelligence services appreciated Haute-Savoie. survey published by Le Monde , about fifteen killers from the 29155 unit of the 161st special training center of the GRU (Russian intelligence service) were identified by the Western services.
It's precise, there are names, dates, we find those who poisoned Colonel Skripal and his daughter in England. Others who conspired in Bulgaria, Montenegro, Moldova, Crimea. On the way out or back, everyone made a detour to Haute-Savoie. Until last year, they had their habits between Evian, Chamonix and Megève. We did not find any weapons, no cache, no evidence, but it seems that in this corner inconRU, the GRU had installed its rear base in Europe.
They passed through France but did not conduct an operation in France ...
France is always apart. It is the only Western country where no Soviet agent infiltrated at the top of the state has ever been unmasked ... the one today who proposes to renew a strategic dialogue with Russia. The investigation comes as the NATO meeting ended, denouncing "the aggressive actions of Russia". It is not only in the Alps under the snow that the cold war continues. "
