BREAKING - Dutch intelligence services say they prevented a Russian spy from accessing the International Criminal Court in the Hague as an intern. The man was working under a Brazilian identity but actually belonged to the GRU - @AFP
Bonkers story. Dutch AIVD names the GRU agent as Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov, 36, who had claimed to be a 33-year-old Brazilian citizen named Viktor Muller Ferreira. He was refused entry to the Netherlands in April as a threat to national security
The Dutch say that had he succeeded in accessing the ICC, which is probing war crimes in Ukraine, he would have been able to gather intelligence or recruit sources, access the court's digital systems and 'might also have been able to influence criminal proceedings of the ICC.'
Breaking from @AFP in Washington - Trump authorizes sanctions against ICC officials who prosecute US troops. Comes after judges ruled in March that a probe into war crimes in Afghanistan must go ahead
Pompeo during presser outlining these sanctions describes ICC as ‘some prosecutor in the Netherlands’
And a ‘kangaroo court’. Goes on to express concern over ICC for investigating Israeli actions in Palestinian Territories
