Ireland expels Russian envoy over faked spy passports<br />

---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

(BBC) reland is expelling a Russian diplomat over claims his country's<br />

intelligence services counterfeited Irish passports.<br />

A police investigation found the identities of six Irish citizens were used<br />

as cover for Russian spies found to have been working in the US, said an<br />

Irish foreign ministry statement. Such activities were "completely<br />

unacceptable", the ministry said. In response, the unnamed diplomat "has<br />

been asked to leave this jurisdiction", it said, without specifying a date.<br />

The ministry said it was "regrettable" that the action was necessary, but<br />

that the behaviour of the Russian intelligence service was not what the<br />

Irish government "would expect from a country with which we have friendly<br />

relations". Last June, a network of 10 Russian spies living as US citizens<br />

was uncovered - with several using Irish passports. They were swiftly<br />

deported as part of the biggest US-Russia spy swap since the Cold War.<br />
