A plane involved in a recent prisoner swap has landed at Slovenia’s Ljubljana Jože Pucnik Airport, as reported by FlightRadar 24 data. The same aircraft had earlier transported prisoners to Esenboga Airport in Ankara, Turkey.
Among the individuals involved in the exchange were two Russian spies, Artem Dultsev and Anna Dultseva, who were in Slovenian custody. Dultsev, who had been using the alias Ludvig Gish while posing as an IT professional, pleaded guilty to espionage at a court in Ljubljana. He was subsequently sentenced to over a year and a half in prison, with the court ruling that this time was already served. Dultsev is now set to be deported to Russia and has been prohibited from entering Slovenia for the next five years.
Similarly, Dultseva, who had been masquerading as an art dealer and gallery owner under the name Maria Rosa Mayer Munos, also admitted to espionage charges alongside Dultsev. Like her counterpart, she received a sentence equivalent to time served and is now facing deportation.
