An unidentified “senior” U.S. Army soldier suspected of espionage related to Russia was arrested Tuesday in the United Kingdom, the U.K.’s Metropolitan Police and American officials said.
British police arrested the 41-year-old man near Gloucester, approximately 100 miles west of London, and are carrying out searches at two locations in the Gloucester area, according to a news release by Scotland Yard.
Senior soldier, 41 years old, arrested near Gloucester. That is not a small matter.
If the suspicion is true, it shows how deep this Russia espionage matter still runs, even inside the US Army itself.
The UK and US working together on the arrest also shows how serious they are taking it.
