PARIS--French police have arrested four people, two of whom have Russian nationality, on suspicion of spying for a foreign power, the Paris prosecutor said on Wednesday.
The prosecutor’s office identified one of the individuals as Anna N, a dual French-Russian national who has been under the surveillance of France’s DGSI domestic intelligence agency since January on the belief she was gathering intelligence.
“In particular, she was suspected of having approached executives of various French companies in order to obtain information relating to French economic interests,” the prosecutor said in an emailed statement.
The prosecutor’s office did not identify the country the four people are suspected of spying for.
