LONDON: An American Army soldier arrested in the United Kingdom on suspicion of espionage for Russia did not provide any intelligence to Moscow, and he is anticipated to be charged in Britain in the coming days, a US official said Thursday.
The person stated that once the British charges against Lt. Col. Brandon Tyner are filed, which is expected on Sunday or Monday, he will be prosecuted under the US military court system. The official stated that no information made it into Russian hands.
A second US official confirmed Tyner’s name and stated that he had previously been deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Qatar. Both talked on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military issues.Tyner was a senior human resources officer who had been deployed to a NATO force stationed near Gloucester, England. He was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly supporting a foreign intelligence service and obtaining or leaking sensitive information.
The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the arrest this week, stating that its counterterrorism units worked closely with the FBI and the US military. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, denied that Russia has any relation to the US officer.
