This is the best summary I could come up with:
Bulgarian nationals Orlin Roussev, Bizer Dzhambazov, Katrin Ivanova, Ivan Stoyanov, and Vanya Gaberova allegedly conspired to gather information which would be useful to an enemy.
Their surveillance activities are alleged to have apparently been for the purpose of assisting Russia to conduct hostile action against the targets, including potential abductions.
Describing the charges, prosecutor Kathryn Selby said the “operating hub in this country for the offence of espionage” was the property of Mr Roussev.
Mr Stoyanov has fought as an amateur mixed martial arts fighter and has appeared in fights in the UK.
In Bulgaria he appeared in so-called combat sambo fights, a form of martial arts popular in eastern Europe.
Mr Marsalek is best known as the Austrian former chief operating officer of the company Wirecard, who became a wanted man in Germany after being suspected of having committed fraud.
