French police have arrested four people, two of them Russian nationals, on suspicion of spying for a foreign power, the Paris prosecutor said on Wednesday.
The prosecutor’s office identified one of the suspects as Anna N, a dual French-Russian national who has been under surveillance by France’s DGSI domestic intelligence agency since January over suspicions she was gathering information.
"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 statement did not name the country for which the four are suspected of having acted.
The other suspects were identified as Vincent P and Bernard F, both born in France, and Vyacheslav P, a Russian national.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Anna N founded SOS Donbass, a France-based association which says on its website that it supports civilians affected by the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
All four are being held in custody as the investigation continues, the prosecutor said.
