An Estonian court has sentenced Nikita Kuzmin, a citizen of Estonia and Russia, to four years in prison for espionage on behalf of Russia, Estonia’s public broadcaster ERR reported.
The Harju County Court found Kuzmin guilty of intelligence activities directed against Estonia and imposed a four-year prison sentence to be served in full.
According to investigators, Kuzmin collected information on military and civilian facilities in Narva and its surrounding areas.
Estonian prosecutor Margret Beres said information gathered inside the country could potentially be used by Russia against Estonia’s security.
