US embassy denies reports it has 11th spy fugitive (AP)

July 2nd, 2010

Undated handout photo released from the Cyprus police on Thursday, July 1, 2010, showing alleged Russian spy Christopher Robert Metsos, 54, who they are looking for after he skipped bail and vanished. Metsos, who identified himself as a Canadian citizen, is wanted in the US on charges that he supplied money to a spy ring that authorities say operated under deep cover in America's suburbs. Metsos was arrested Tuesday in Cyprus as he tried to board a flight for Budapest, Hungary, but a Cypriot judge freed him on euro27,000 (US$33,000) bail, and he has now gone missing but is thought to still be on the Mediterranean island. (AP Photo/Cyprus Police, HO)AP - The U.S. Embassy in Cyprus flatly denied media reports Friday that it was holding a fugitive spy suspect at its compound on the Mediterranean island, but a spokesman acknowledged the U.S. was helping search for him.
