A RUSSIAN woman who was detained in Britain on suspicion of spying has been released on bail, her lawyers said yesterday.
Ekaterina Zatuliveter, a former researcher at the House of Commons for Liberal Democrat member of parliament Mike Hancock, was detained earlier this month pending deportation to Russia.
The 25-year-old said in a statement that she has been released from an immigration detention center, but has to obey strict bail conditions. She denies any wrongdoing.
"I am not working for, and have never worked for, the Russian intelligence services," she said. "I do not understand why the deportation order has been made against me."
No charges have been filed against Zatuliveter, who was arrested on December 5. However, Britain's government is seeking to deport her to Russia on the grounds that her presence in the UK is a threat to national security.
Hancock, who is on parliament's defense committee, said he believed Zatuliveter was wrongly accused.
