ALEXANDRIA, VA
The defendants known as Michael Zottoli, Patricia Mills and
Mikhail Semenko appeared briefly Friday in federal court in
Alexandria. Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan set a preliminary
hearing for Wednesday for all three defendants.
In a court filing ahead of Friday's hearing, prosecutors said
Zottoli and Mills have admitted they are Russian citizens living in
the U.S. under false identities. They said their real names are
Mikhail Kutzik and Natalia Pereverzeva.
The three are among 11 suspects arrested this week.
