FSB investigators believe the photos and videos used to establish the relationship were produced with AI and circulated for months to build the victim\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u2019Polina\u2019 reportedly arranged to send the officer a gift of British beer via an intermediary. The courier, the FSB said, was already under investigation for smuggling explosives and other contraband into Russia from Ukraine-controlled territory using drones. He was detained immediately after delivering the package.<\/p>\n<p>Testing of the beer revealed two toxic agents, including what the FSB described as a British-manufactured variant of the VX nerve agent.
