It seems Sergey #Cherkasov—who's now detained in 🇧🇷 for forgery of identity but has also been charged in 🇺🇸 for 'acting as an agent of a foreign power'—may be going home at some point, in case 🇧🇷agrees to extradite him. A long shot now but not impossible.

"The #Cherkasov case has been a source of embarrassment for 🇧🇷 officials about their system’s susceptibility to fraud and the frequency with which it has been used by 🇷🇺 intelligence services as a launchpad for illegals." @Gregmiller https://t.co/oHohRpvJex

🧵This affidavit by an FBI agent makes for a fascinating read. It fills some gaps in the story of 🇷🇺GRU agent #Cherkasov, aka 🇧🇷Victor Muller #Ferreira, who was unmasked by the 🇳🇱 security service AIVD. Upon arrival in 🇳🇱, "Ferreira" was meant to infiltrate #ICC OTP as an intern. https://t.co/wGk2Ypsaf9
