A Russian woman is questioned in Denmark over allegations of helping a foreign intelligence agency

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A Russian woman has been detained and questioned in Denmark for allegedly helping a foreign intelligence agency to operate in the country. The Scandinavian nation’s domestic security service said Wednesday that the woman, who has not been named, faces preliminary charges of enabling a foreign intelligence service to operate in Denmark, including aiding it in propaganda activities. It was unclear if the woman had been released. The agency stressed the case was “related to a story in several European media about a Russian state fund.” Danish broadcaster DR said the woman was a Russian citizen, calling her “a central figure in the Russian community in Denmark,” who had received money from a Moscow-based organization. Russia has called for her immediate release.
