Russian secret police blindfolded, interrogated Japanese diplomat, says Japan (americanmilitarynews.com)

The Japanese government has accused members of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) of detaining, blindfolding and interrogating a Japanese diplomat.

The FSB told the Russian state-run TASS news agency it caught Japanese diplomat Motoka Tatsunori “red-handed” receiving classified information.

“The Federal Security Service in the Primorsky Territory stopped the espionage action of the Consul of the Consulate General of Japan in Vladivostok, Motoka Tatsunori,” the FSB told TASS. “A Japanese diplomat was detained red-handed while receiving limited distribution information for a monetary reward about topical aspects of Russia’s cooperation with one of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the impact of the sanctions policy of the West on the economic situation in Primorsky Krai.”

The Russian government has since released the Japanese diplomat and declared him “persona non grata,” meaning he had to leave the country within 48 hours.
