FBI agents arrested an alleged Russian spy in New York today on charges of trying to gather economic intelligence and recruit sources.
It was announced that the alleged secret intelligence agent's name is Evgeny Buryakov and he is 39 years old. He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Manhattan later today, AFP reports.
According to the statement of the Prosecutor General Eric Holder, two suspects who belong to the same circle - Igor Sporišev (40) and Viktor Podobni (27) - are protected by diplomatic immunity, and besides, they no longer live in the USA, so they were not arrested.
