Cyprus police hunt vanished Russian spy suspect

Cyprus authorities stepped up their search today for the 11th alleged member of a Russian spy ring who vanished after skipping bail, but police refused to answer questions about why the suspect was granted bail in the first place.

Police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos said police had “no indications yet” that 54-year-old Christopher Robert Metsos had left the island or crossed over into its breakaway northern Turkish sector.
