MOSCOW, November 2 (RIA Novosti) – A group of Swiss lawmakers are planning to travel to Moscow to ask fugitive intelligence leaker Edward Snowden about his undercover work in Geneva, a media report said on Saturday.
Swiss parliamentarian with the Socialist Party, Carlo Sommaruga, said in an interview with the local RTS television that together with a group of colleagues from other parties, they are planning to visit Russia to get first-hand details about what the US intelligence serivces were doing in the country when Snowden worked under a diplomatic cover in Switzerland in 2007. The lawmaker expressed a concern that the American agency might be still doing intelligence work in the country.
Snowden was hired by the CIA in 2006 for a technology job and later worked under the cover of the US State Department in Geneva.
