A “sophisticated” UK-based spy ring passed secrets to Russia for
nearly three years before they were prosecuted. It was revealed
that the ring leader, a man named Orlin Roussev, had exchanged
messages with a mysterious man code named ‘Rupert Ticz’.

The prosecutors revealed that the man was in fact Jan Marsalek,
the fugitive ex-Wirecard chief operating officer, who is wanted
in connection with a €1.9bn (£1.57bn) banking fraud.

For almost three years, he had gathered information on targets
across Europe, planning kidnappings, murders and assaults
alongside the spy ring.

In the third instalment of The Tech Boss Who Was Russia's Secret
Spy, Hayley Dixon reveals the messages that were sent by Marsalek
and uncover what he has been up to since he went on the run since
June 2020.
