A UK member of parliament's former assistant accused of spying for Moscow went to court yesterday in a bid to avoid being deported, telling judges she had an affair with her boss but was not a Russian agent.
Ekaterina Zatuliveter, 26, also known as Katia, was arrested in December on suspicion of using her position in the office of MP Mike Hancock to pass information to Russian intelligence.
She was not charged, but British authorities want to deport her.
Zatuliveter denies spying and is asking the Special Immigration Appeals Commission to block her extradition. The case is being heard by three judges and a former head of MI5, the British intelligence agency.
Hancock, a Liberal Democrat MP who sits on the House of Commons defense committee, has said Zatuliveter was a researcher in his office but was not involved in sensitive matters. He has said he is confident she was not a spy.
