Five Bulgarian nationals in custody in Britain will face trial next year on charges they spied for Russia, a judge ruled on November 10. Orlin Roussev, Bizer Dzhambazov, Katrin Ivanova, Ivan Stoyanov, and Vanya Gaberova are alleged to have been part of a "network" conducting surveillance for Russia "with another person known as Jan Marsalek and others unknown." Marsalek is the Austrian former chief operating officer of payments firm Wirecard, who became a wanted man in Germany over fraud allegations. He hasn't been charged in the British case. Judge Jeremy Baker set a trial date for October 28 next year.
