Their cover blown, 10 Russian spies have given up their lives in the U.S. and headed home, but in at least one case their children probably won’t follow.
A lawyer for Vicky Pelaez said Thursday that the teenage son she had with fellow Russian agent Mikhail Vasenkov during the decades they spent living in New York will most likely remain in the U.S., as will her 38-year-old son from a prior marriage.
“He’s 17 years of age. He’ll probably stay with his brother,” attorney John Rodriguez said.
Arrangements were being made to relocate other children of the Russian spies, who on Thursday admitted infiltrating the U.S. under assumed names to gather information for Moscow.
Hours after pleading guilty, all 10 members of the spy ring, including eight who are parents and have children in the U.S., were deported to Moscow. Just how soon their children might join them is unclear.
