Warns Moscow after the arrest of suspected spy

The Russian security service has arrested a man with both American and British citizenship, suspected of espionage. Now Britain is sending a warning to Moscow.

The Russian Security Service, FSB, has arrested a 48-year-old man with both US and British citizenship, suspected of espionage.

Now UK Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt warns Moscow.

- Individuals should not be used as plays for diplomatic pressure or in diplomatic chess games, Hunt says.

The 48-year-old former Navy soldier was detained last week suspected of having spied. The man denies the charges and according to his family, the 48-year-old was in Moscow to visit a wedding.

US Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo said earlier this week that the US government asked Russia to explain why the 48-year-old was arrested. US Ambassador has visited the man in prison.
