Estonia’s security service arrested a Russian in January on suspicion of spying, the Baltic country’s first case involving an alleged recruit of the GRU military intelligence service.

The person may face a jail term of up to 10 years if found guilty, Arnold Sinisalu, head of Estonia’s Internal Security Service, was cited as saying by Baltic News Service. Sinisalu declined to say whether the person was a permanent resident of Estonia.
