intelligence services tapped up from the time in some petersburg where she studied international relations and specifically targeted british member of parliament in order to gain access to top secret documents how the man in question was my can call a member of parliament and also he who had a seat on the parliamentary select committee for defense and also russia that we do know also that they had an affair for four years and also we do know that she was working for him as he is researching in parliament so potentially had access to these documents but that's about all we know so in terms of concrete proof and concrete evidence that's about all we heard so her defense the bulk of it throughout the hearing was to try and show that her relationship with mike hancock was indeed a genuine one. even though he was three times her age and actually the cool in its ruling did actually say that it decided that it her relationship with him was in jewing and genuine on both sides and of course those three judges who did hear the evidence behind closed doors they also said that we have seen nothing which satisfies us that she was recruited as an agent or was tossed or acted as one and so they'

for the russian intelligence services to ensnare and seduce a british member of parliament member of parliament in question was mike hancock who had access to a lot of top secret material he was a member of both parliamentary select committees for one and defense one russia and m i five accused of actually talking deliberately for that access and we do know that she did have an affair during the time that she was actually working for him as his parliamentary research but other than that in terms of evidence against her during her hearing last month we really heard not much more because a lot of large chunks of m i five evidence is actually given behind closed doors in secret to see team too sensitive for the press the public cat is at a reactor and her lawyer even to hear the court didn't hear it though the judges did and they deemed that the basically wasn't enough it said that we have not sorry we have seen nothing that which satisfies us that she was recruited as an agent always task acted as one it also added that we have not reached that conclusion by a narrow margin so rejected these claims it ruled in her favor and this has been a very lengthy battle fo
