Payman Kia was sentenced to life in prison for spying on behalf of Russia. In new interrogations, he now admits to parts of the deed.
Ahead of the appeal court hearings that begin on Monday, Peyman Kia has requested to speak with the Security Police.
Peyman Kia states in interrogation that he was first contacted by Russia’s external intelligence service SVR, but all the handing over of secret documents must have taken place to the GRU.
– I have never been in direct contact, meaning physically, he says.
