A 44-year-old dual UK-Azerbaijani citizen, Rashad Sultanov, has been arrested in Cyprus under the first-ever overseas use of the National Security Act — targeting alleged espionage at RAF Akrotiri between May and June 2025.

This landmark case underscores Britain’s expanding legal reach abroad and showcases tight cooperation between UK and Cypriot authorities as extradition proceedings unfold.
