Spy sting foils factory worker’s plot to sell UK nuclear secrets

A factory worker who stole secret documents detailing sensitive information about British nuclear submarines and attempted to sell them to government officials in Eastern Europe has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.

Marcin Kostrzewa, 32, approached the Polish embassy in 2014 and tried to flog the sensitive documents along with other information to staff based there for £50,000.
