Lib Dem aide was Russia's best spy in 30 years, says top KGB defector

The Daily Mail reports:

The blonde Commons researcher facing deportation from Britain after being accused of espionage is Russia’s most effective spy in 30 years, a top KGB defector claims.

Oleg Gordievsky – a double agent for MI6 in the Seventies and Eighties – said Russian-born Ekaterina Zatuliveter ‘caused more damage than all other KGB agents put together’.

‘She was the strongest and most useful KGB agent for the last 30 years,’ he added.

Mr Gordievsky claimed that Zatuliveter, known as ‘Katia’ – an aide to controversial Liberal Democrat MP Mike Hancock – had gathered information about British naval bases.
