British police have arrested a 41-year-old American soldier assigned to NATO on suspicion of spying for Russia, in a case involving a joint investigation with US authorities.
The soldier was detained near Gloucester in southwest England. He was assigned to NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, a multinational military formation capable of rapid deployment across Europe and beyond.
British counter-terrorism police said the investigation was being conducted under national security laws. FBI Director Kash Patel praised the cooperation between British and American authorities. Russia has denied any connection to the arrest. The investigation remains ongoing, and no formal charge has yet been confirmed.
