Three suspected Russian spies held by the US have been denied bail by a Virginia court.

The suspects were returned to jail after two admitted being Russian citizens living under assumed names.

Six suspects were earlier denied bail in New York and an 11th suspect is on the run in Cyprus.

Washington has announced the successful completion of its biggest spy swap with Russia since the Cold War.

Ten Russian agents were flown to Vienna hours after they admitted in a US court to being agents for a foreign country.

A Russian jet carrying four prisoners freed by Russia arrived around the same time.

From what I've heard on the news, the intelligence agencies have been watching these people for 10 years and within a week their captured and traded with the russians without any interrogation or anything else.
Something seem's fishy.
