Russians held in China spy probe

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has arrested the head of a Russian rocket technology firm on charges of selling state secrets to China.

Igor Reshetin, director of TsNIIMASH-Export, is being held in Moscow's Lefortovo prison, along with his deputy and another top assistant.

Mr Reshetin is also accused of stealing 30m rubles ($1m; £597,000) through a scheme involving bogus companies.

TsNIIMASH-Export carries out research for Russia's state space agency.
