Germany releases, deports convicted Russia spy
German authorities have released a woman convicted of spying for Russia and deported her after she served half of her prison sentence.
Heidrun Anschlag and her husband Andreas, known only by the fake names on the Austrian passports they used to enter Germany, were arrested in 2011 and sentenced to 5 ½ and 6 ½ years respectively in July 2013. They were convicted of spying for Russia over more than two decades, handing over European Union and NATO documents.
