The Dutch secret services have announced that they have arrested a spy who came from Moscow. He posed as an intern at the International Criminal Court.
His mission stopped at Amsterdam airport (Netherlands). Sergei Cherkasov was turned away before even entering on Dutch territory. He was sent back to Brazil, where he holds a passport. He patiently built a Brazilian identity, with an assumed name: Viktor Muller. The experts of information call that “a legend”. He came to Holland to do an internship at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, most likely to obtain information on Russia’s war crimes investigations in Ukraine.
This undercover agent created a false identity. On social networks, we find the twelve years of the life of Viktor Muller: his friends, his taste for motorcycles and his real degree in political science. Sent back to Brazil, Sergei Cherkasov was immediately arrested by the local police and subsequently imprisoned for identity theft.
