THREAD🧵: On the surface, the spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress was one of the CCP's top enemies, but according to the Swedish Security Service (Säpo), he was a Chinese spy. I interviewed him during this time. #ChinaTargets #svpol #säkpol gp.se/6fc60bc2-2b01-4e72-998… (1/3)

In a previously unpublished interview, he told me about how China spies on Uyghurs in Sweden and how the regime promises spies they will be safe. He also said that Säpo is too weak. "The Swedish Security Service is not strong enough to crack down on these Chinese spies".

Pensioners carrying thousands of euros across the border, embassy intermediaries, cryptocurrency transfers… No, it’s not a spy thriller — it’s how a Russian state-backed foundation, Pravfond, funneled money into at least 11 EU countries after being sanctioned.

🔴 NEW: For years, a state-backed Russian foundation, Pravfond, has been paying for the legal defense of alleged spies, criminals, and propagandists, from a taxi driver convicted of espionage to notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout. Despite being sanctioned by the EU two years ago, the money is still flowing.

Researchers at @citizenlab say threat actors close to the Chinese government were likely behind an attempt to infiltrate the devices of a group of Uyghur activists, including some featured in ICIJ’s #ChinaTargets investigation, according to a new report. buff.ly/EAUJnzO
