Centerfold's Drowning Prompts Police to Probe Possible Spying Mission

A Playboy model from Russia drowned during a photo shoot in proximity of a major European NATO base prompting police to investigate whether it was a cover for a secret spying mission, according to reports.

The naked body of Galina Fedorova, 35, was discovered by coast guards after she and her photographer swam in the Mediterranean Sea off Sardinia, officials told Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Police then interrogated Yev Taranovs, a 42-year-old British photographer.

His cameras and a drone used during their shoot were confiscated, according to the UK newspaper The Sun.

“There is interest in the drone footage as this happened very close to a NATO firing range,” a police source told the paper of one of Italy’s largest military bases on the Teulada coastline. “We have to make sure the assignment was not a cover for a spying mission.” more
