A six-month i investigation has uncovered a suspected Russian intelligence asset has been living freely in the UK and even used the flagship Homes for Ukraine scheme to bring his family to Britain.
i Senior Reporter Richard Holmes joins us this week on a special episode of The i Podcast to reveal how he unearthed this remarkable story and what it says about the UK's ability to counter suspected foreign threats.
From covert meetings with FBI agents in Italian restaurants to high-level Ukrainian investigations, Richard has worked for half a year to bring the story to our front page this week.
Find out the lengths he went to uncover exactly what happened in the heart of government when the scheme was launched, and what the subject, who i has chosen not to name, has to say about the allegations.
