Ringleader Orlin Roussev, 47, who led the spy ring from a run-down guest-house in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, was sentenced to 10 years and eight months yesterday. He had admitted his role along with his second-in-command, Biser Dzhambazov, 44, who was jailed for 10 years and two months, and Ivan Stoyanov, 33, who was handed five years and three weeks in prison.

Female “honeytrap” agents Katrin Ivanova, 33, and Vanya Gaberova, 30, and competitive swimmer Tihomir Ivanov Ivanchev, 39, were found guilty at the Old Bailey in March of activities which police have said put lives and national security at risk.
