Two ”Russian spies” caught in Istanbul: Hurriyet

Two Russian ”spies” alleged to be involved in the killing of Chechen militant Abdulvakhid Edelgireyev in Turkey were caught in a joint operation that took six months to prepare by the National Intelligence Organization (M?T) and police on April 8 in Istanbul, a report has claimed.
The alleged spies, 52-year-old Iurii Anisimov and 55-year-old Aleksandr Smirnov, were caught while they were doing intelligence work for another plot, daily Habert?rk reported. The alleged spies, who refused to talk during interrogations, have been arrested, according to Hurriyet.
Investigations revealed that both had re-entered Turkey using fake passports. Fake Interpol IDs, a number of photos of Russian state officials, a USB memory stick, five cell phones with numbers and PIN/PUK information glued to them and U.S. dollars with consecutive serial numbers were found on the spies.  
According to initial information obtained from the USB, the suspects took photos of parking areas, license plates, security cameras, hotel rooms and obscure parts of the rooms. 
The alleged spies tracked the movement of security cameras for a day and took photos of the camera`s positions on an hourly basis.  
The efforts to recover the deleted information on the USB stick are ongoing.
