Intelligence service believed property was being used for espionage purposes, documentary claims
Italy’s secret intelligence service was monitoring the luxury Umbrian villa owned by the Lebedev family when Boris Johnson visited in April 2018 while he was foreign secretary, a documentary has claimed.
The agency believed the property, Palazzo Terranova, and a second villa nearby owned by the family were being used for espionage purposes, according to the Channel 4 documentary Boris, the Lord and the Russian Spy.
Boris, the Lord and the Russian Spy: Dispatches will be broadcast on Tuesday 27 June at 10pm on Channel 4 and channel4.com
