“The intelligence chief said this has put a “big dent” in the country’s abilities to damage the West, but he warned that Russia – and Iran – would now look to criminal activity for their “dirty work”. He claimed Russia’s military intelligence agency the GRU, who are widely blamed for the 2018 Salisbury attacks, has been actively recruiting criminals as proxies.”
