Russian spies among doctors

In April 2020, Jacopo Iacoboni published a story claiming, in relation to Russia's medical mission to Italy in the coronavirus crisis, that the "104-strong contingent of doctors and experts almost certainly included officers from Russia's GRU military intelligence agency." The expert quoted for this claim was Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, the British soldier spreading the UK government line on the in the Skripal-affair and the alleged Douma chemical incident.

"We can assume that (the Russian team) will want to find out as much about Italian forces as possible and set up intelligence networks," de Bretton-Gordon told La Stampa.
