Bulgarian woman in Russian spy ring is no George Blake, Old Bailey told

The article highlights Katrin Ivanova, a woman involved in a spy ring for Russia who faces up to 14 years in jail. She should not face the same harsh treatment as George Blake, a notorious double agent sentenced to 42 years for espionage in the 1960s. Ivanova was manipulated by her partner and unaware of her role until after being arrested, while the prosecution refers to her as "chief minion." The judge is encouraged to consider the limited impact of her work when sentencing her differently from other spies.
