Russian citizen Anna Novikova, detained in France on suspicion of espionage, said intelligence agencies had been monitoring her and her family for nearly a year. This is known from her letter.
According to Novikova, the surveillance began in early 2025. She claims that while living in the city of Pau, her apartment was rigged with surveillance equipment, a tracking device was installed in her car, and her phone was under the control of intelligence agencies.
The Russian woman said that during interrogation she was shown photos of meetings with Frenchman Vincent P. and other activists. It is about a meeting in a cafe after a demonstration in memory of Daria Dugina.
Novikova also said she learned about the constant surveillance from a lawyer appointed by the police. Previously, French media wrote about the arrest of 3 members of the association helping Donbass residents SOS Donbass, including Novikova, reported RIA Novosti.
Previously, it became known that a couple from Russia would appear in court in Poland on espionage charges and transporting explosives.
