Jewelry designer unmasked as Russian spy luring NATO chiefs into honeytraps
A few more details on this story from yesterday.
[NYPOST] A beautiful jewelry designer who criss-crossed Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
for 10 years was actually a Russian spy who infiltrated NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
by charming and seducing commanders.

She was known as Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera but her real name was Olga Kolobova, and she was a spy working on behalf of Russia’s GRU foreign intelligence service, according to the investigative site Bellingcat, which used photo-matching software to out her.

Rivera took up residence in Rome, Malta and Gay Paree before making Naples, Italia, her home base. She owned a jewelry boutique and talked her way into the city’s international party scene, including soirees and balls attended by NATO officers, the outlet reported.

Colonel Sheila Bryant, then inspector general of the US Naval Forces in Europa and Africa, was suspicious of Maria Adela’s story, Bellingcat said.

She told colleagues to "limit access" to highly confidential military information around her.

Suddenly, in 2018, Maria Adela left for Moscow — and her friends in Europe haven’t seen her since. Bellingcat theorized she had her cover blown in some way by outside intelligence services.
