U.S. authorities charge 11 suspects with spying for Russia

Eleven suspects have been charged for allegedly carrying out espionage operations in the United States on behalf of Russia, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement on Monday.

"In total, 11 defendants, including the 10 arrested, are charged in two separate criminal complaints with conspiring to act as unlawful agents of the Russian Federation within the United States," the statement said.

Eight suspects were arrested on Sunday as allegedly being deep cover Russian agents in the United States.

Two other suspects were arrested for allegedly participating in the same Russian intelligence operation, while one of the suspects remains at large.

1. I wonder about the details

Are they Russian or American? What information were they seeking and sharing? Who were they working for at the time?
