A New York lawmaker is calling on the FBI to investigate the Russian Diplomatic Compound that experts previously told Fox News Digital houses diplomats who are here to spy on the country.
"We can no longer afford to have the war crimes of Vladimir Putin aided and abetted espionage in our own backyard," he continued."Russia has a long history of conducting espionage operations against the United States.
Most Russian intelligence officers – those who work for the Foreign Intelligence Service or the federation's military intelligence agency, known as the GRU – live in the building, which is known to some law enforcement officers as the"plex," said Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI special agent and former head of the bureau’s Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, at the time.
Before his press conference, Torres sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting the agency open an investigation into the goings-on at the compound."I have heard from my constituents and read numerous reports of alleged Russian spies living in the Russian Diplomatic Compound in the Bronx, New York," he wrote in the letter, provided to Fox News Digital.
