British Citizen Arrested in Cyprus Over Military Espionage | Sheffield News
Description
A British national, 44-year-old Rashad Sultanov, has been arrested in Cyprus over alleged espionage at RAF Akrotiri, marking the first overseas use of the new National Security Act. Accused of conducting hostile surveillance and passing intelligence to Iran’s IRGC, the case underscores Britain’s expanding legal reach to protect military assets abroad. Led by Counter Terrorism Policing London, the probe spans May to June of next year, with UK and Cypriot agencies collaborating closely. Charges have been formally authorized by the CPS, and Sultanov remains in custody as extradition proceedings begin.
