RUSSIA — SPIES AMONG US: It sounds like something straight out of a John le Carré novel: A Moscow spy worked for two decades under cover in Europe by building a fake biography. “A stocky, 50-something man with a bushy moustache, Frith had for almost two decades led a seemingly normal madrileño life … Frith traveled frequently for business, mostly to Central Europe, sometimes as far away as Chile. He had friends and liked a drink. Frith spoke Spanish with a slight accent, which he attributed to his mixed upbringing … According to Western intelligence sources, the industrious life of a busy, frequent-flying Spanish consultant was a front. Frith, they say, was born Sergey Yuryevich Cherepanov in Russia in 1955.” Pierre Briançon: http://politi.co/1YsB2I7
