A man who was once hailed as a brilliant linguist and worked for the British government has recently been exposed as a spy for Russian President Vladimir Putin. This shocking revelation has caused him to lose his British citizenship, which he had obtained in 2007. The man, known only as C2, had a skill for languages that brought him into contact with some of the most powerful people in the UK. He was even trusted to accompany high-level officials and members of the royal family, such as former prime ministers Brown and Cameron, and even Prince Charles and Prince William. It seemed that he had a bright future ahead of him.
C2's journey began in 2000 when he sought asylum in the UK and was eventually headhunted by the Home Office in 2006. He was described as highly intelligent, quick-witted, and cunning, which made him a valuable asset to the British government. With his expertise in languages, he was able to work closely with the Foreign Office and even had security clearance. He also claimed to have worked for the Metropolitan Police and with UK intelligence agencies, although this was never confirmed.
However, his life took a drastic turn when the Home Office declared him an agent of the GRU, Russia's military intelligence service, in 2019. This came as a shock to many, including C2 himself. His citizenship was revoked, and he was no longer able to work for the British government. The reasons for this decision were not made public due to national security concerns, but it is believed that C2's work with the Afghan government in 2011 may have brought him into contact with Russian officials.
C2 then acquired Russian nationality in 2013 after marrying a Russian woman. He resigned from his role in Afghanistan and began working for a fuel trading company, representing them in Russia and other northern Eurasian countries. Despite this, he claimed to have had two meetings with British intelligence services during visits to the UK in 2019, after returning to work for the Afghan government.
In February, C2 appealed the decision to revoke his citizenship, hoping to regain his status as a British citizen. However, his appeal was ultimately dismissed by a judge who concluded that the Home Office's assessment of him being a GRU agent was justified. The judge also stated that C2 would need to know the national security case against him in order to refute it, but this information was not available to him.
The judge's ruling was made public, and it stated that the entire case rested on the Home Secretary's assessment that C2 was indeed a GRU agent. If this was true, then it would be reasonable to revoke his citizenship. It was a tough decision, but ultimately, the evidence pointed towards C2 being a threat to national security. It was a sad end to a once-promising career, as C2 is now unlikely to ever brush shoulders with British royalty again.
