GNA: Russian spies in Libya met Saif Gaddafi, worked for Wagner Group

Libya’s Burkan Al-Ghadab Operation under the command of the Government of National Accord (GNA) said the detained Russian spies are linked to the mercenary Wagner Group, saying that the Libyan Intelligence sent the files of Maxim Shugaley and Samir Seifan to the Public Prosecution for acts against the state of Libya.

Burkan Al-Ghadab explained on Sunday that the two spies had entered Libya for military and economic espionage not for the reasons stated on the applications for their visas.

The operation added that the two Russian spies are working for a firm owned by Wagner Group owner Yevgeny Prigozhin, and they had been sending daily reports to Russian superiors on economic and military conditions in Libya.

“They have even met with the fugitive Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi more than once as they are part of a firm lobbying for Saif Gaddafi for the upcoming elections in Libya.” The operation added, saying many details of their work had been found on their computers and mobile phones.

It indicated that the two Russian spies recruited Libyans to gather intelligence and information and trained them to work in the future on influencing the elections in the country.

The operation also said that the two Russian spies were accompanied by two others; Alexender Brokoviv and Constantin Walksandir, indicating that they had forged firms’ stamps to carry out some financial procedures.

“They were tasked to work on securing a military base for Russia in Libya and preventing the US from having one, in addition to controlling Libyan oil and gas industry.” Burkan Al-Ghadab Operation said.
