The Russian spy who attempted to infiltrate the International Criminal Court in The Hague using a "well-constructed cover identity" had taught in an English language college in Dublin for more than a year. 

Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov has been accused of being an agent of Russia’s GRU military intelligence, and flew to the Netherlands from Brazil in April, to work undercover in the war crimes court in the Hague.
