Alleged Russian Spy To Stay In UK
A former parliamentary aide and lover of a Liberal Democrat MP has won her battle to stay in the UK after being accused of being a Russian spy.
Katia Zatuliveter, 26, who had an affair with Lib Dem Mike Hancock has won her appeal against deportation despite claims that she was reporting information back to Moscow.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) ruled that "on the balance of probabilities" Katia Zatuliveter was not a Russian agent.
The Home Office is said to be disappointed with the decision. It said it stood by its original decision to deport her on national security grounds.
Despite not being allowed to attend much of the Siac hearing Zatuliveter, was able to convince the panel that she was not a danger to national security.
