Former tech boss turned fugitive Jan Marsalek was living a double life as a Russian spy, having met his handler during a meeting on a yacht in Nice back in 2014. 

Throughout his time at the company, he is accused of running operations on behalf of the Kremlin, from assembling a Libyan militia and running surveillance on enemies of the state to an alleged audacious plot to hijack the Austrian spy service.

In the second instalment of The Daily T Investigates: The Tech Boss who was Russia's Secret Spy, Hayley Dixon examines Marsalek’s relationship with the country and tracks down his closest friend to find out more about the man behind the headlines.
