"I have previously worked as a Special Security Officer for the American Foreign Ministry in Berlin, where I gained valuable experience in armed security operations.''

Literal LinkedIn post of the German in Belarus looking for a new job in the US. While organizing anti-givernment operations in belarus, with known terrorist groups. The "kidnapped" lady sent intelligence out of the country and was arrested while visiting.

You can think of Belarus what you want, but any country would arrest you for that sort of thing.
