> A DW investigation says a Cuban man working for Russian intelligence recruited people to carry out arson and other sabotage in at least four EU countries in 2024. Operating from a Latin dance studio in Russia, he used social media and Telegram to find recruits. A Colombian former soldier involved in one operation was sentenced to six years in prison in 2025.
