Paris prosecutors said Wednesday that they had arrested a 40-year-old Russian-born man Tuesday at his Paris apartment on suspicion of planning to “destabilize the Olympic Games.”
He was charged with “conducting intelligence work on behest of a foreign power” with an aim to “provoke hostilities in France,” crimes punishable with a 30-year prison sentence, according to a statement from the Paris prosecutor’s office.
