Overview

  • A cross-border team from Der Spiegel, ZDF, The Insider, the Standard and PBS Frontline says it located Marsalek in Moscow and released images showing him heading toward the FSB headquarters.
  • Cell-tower data recorded one of his phones near Moscow’s Lubyanka 304 times between January and November 2024, with additional signals detected around the complex.
  • Reporters say he uses multiple false identities, including a Russian passport in the name Alexander Michaelowitsch Nelidov, and he has been traced to a central Moscow hotel.
  • Data indicate travel to eastern Ukraine and occupied Mariupol, with Moscow-based sources claiming he took part in operations behind front lines.
  • The reports identify translator Tatiana Spiridonova as a frequent companion and alleged courier who in 2022 carried a laptop said to be destined for the FSB, while Marsalek remains internationally wanted and under German investigation, with prior UK convictions linking an agent ring to his direction.
