25 October 2022 at 13:41 Suspected Russian spy arrested in Tromsø A Brazilian citizen was yesterday morning arrested by the police on his way to work at the University of Tromsø. PST suspects that he is in Norway under a false name and false identity, and that he is actually Russian and works for one of the Russian intelligence services. PST believes he is a so-called “illegal”, someone who builds up an identity as an ordinary citizen, while quietly working for Russian intelligence. Among other things, he researched hybrid warfare. It is the first time that PST has arrested someone they believe is an “illegal” in Norway. The man was produced for imprisonment in Nord-Troms and Senja District Court in Tromsø today. According to the police, he has been detained and has not been charged with anything.
