BERLIN (AP) — Prosecutors in Germany say three men have been arrested on suspicion of trying to collect information on a person from Ukraine for a foreign intelligence agency. They say the suspects are a Ukrainian, an Armenian and a Russian national. They were arrested in Frankfurt on Wednesday. A judge on Thursday ordered them kept in custody pending a possible indictment for working for a foreign secret service. Prosecutors on Friday didn’t specify what country’s intelligence agency the three are alleged to have spied for. The suspects allegedly were tasked with gathering information on a person from Ukraine in Germany. The trio allegedly scouted out a cafe in Frankfurt where that person was thought to be.
