A Russian woman has been detained and questioned in Denmark for allegedly helping a foreign intelligence agency to operate in the country
, the Scandinavian nation's security service said Wednesday. The woman, who has not been named, faces preliminary charges of enabling a foreign intelligence service to operate in Denmark -- including aiding it in propaganda activities, the Danish domestic security service, known by its acronym PET, told The Associated Press. In Denmark, preliminary charges are one step short of formal ones but allow authorities to detain suspects during an investigation.
Calling for the woman's immediate release, the Russian ambassador in Copenhagen, Vladimir Barbin condemned her detention as a “brazen and shameless provocation by the Danish security services aimed at intimidating our compatriots, discrediting their non-profit groups for keeping in touch with the Motherland.” Barbin insisted that her detention was linked to “false materials” published in the Danish media about the Russian Foundation, in a statement released by the Russian foreign ministry.
