Russia arrests Wall Street Journal reporter for espionage

The Hindu  

Russia’s top security agency says a reporter for the Wall Street Journal has been arrested on espionage charges. The Federal Security Service, the top domestic security and counterintelligence agency that is the top successor agency to the Soviet era KGB, said Thursday that Evan Gershkovich was detained in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg while allegedly trying to obtain classified information. The security service alleged that Mr. Gershkovich “was acting on the U.S. orders to collect information about the activities of one of the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex that constitutes a state secret.” The FSB didn’t say when the arrest took place. Mr. Gershkovich covers Russia and Ukraine as a correspondent in the Wall Street Journal's Moscow bureau.
