Russian woman spy in UK faces deportation

She is not a Russian spy. I know nothing about espionage,but she has been subjected to a deportation order, Hancock said. She is appealing it because she feels,quite rightly,that she has done nothing wrong.

The Sunday Times said Zatuliveter was stopped and questioned at Gatwick airport in August when she returned to Britain. Hancock said the security services had never told him of their concerns about Zatuliveter. No one has ever said to me under any circumstances whatsoever that she has been involved in anything like that, he said. It is now in the hands of her lawyers. I am sure that in the end she will be proved to be right. Hancock said Zatuliveter had been a full-time researcher in his officer for 2 1/2 years.

In July,the government revoked the British citizenship of Anna Chapman who was among 10 people who pleaded guilty in the US to procuring information for a foreign government.
