Edward Snowden receives marriage proposal from former Russian spy
Published: 2013 July 05 11:07:18 (11577 Views)
Former Russian spy Anna Chapman has proposed to fugitive US CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The 31-year-old popped the question on Twitter – in a move that is likely to infuriate his pole dancer girlfriend Lindsay Mills.
She wrote: "Snowden, will you marry me?"
A source said: "Lindsay thought she and Eddie were the real deal, that they would go all the way.
"She is struggling to come to terms with the fact he just upped and left without one word of warning but now she has to contend with her boyfriend becoming a sex symbol.
"Initially Lindsay was quite understanding but there have been a few tinges of anger now coming out."
Chapman hit the headlines when she was outed in the US as a Russian spy along with nine others in 2010.
She is the daughter of a senior KGB agent and has since become a celebrity in Russia since she returned to her homeland three years ago.
She has appeared on the catwalk at Russian Fashion Week in Moscow, edited a magazine, given lectures and now runs a foundation.
Snowden, thought to still be in Russia, is wanted after exposing an internet programme that gives spooks access to personal web data.
US authorities have charged the 30-year-old with theft, espionage and theft of government property.
If found guilty each offence carries a maximum 10 year prison sentence.
He has accused President Barack Obama of putting pressure on the countries to which he has applied for asylum.
After more almost 20 countries rejected his application for political asylum, South America is the last hope Snowden has for a haven.
Both Venezuela and Bolivia have spoke favourably about his application.
Miss Mills, 28, has also been questioned about what she knew of her boyfriend's spying activities and could also face charges.
