OnlyFans porn star 'who spied for Belarusian dictator Lukashenko's KGB secret service' has been arrested
An OnlyFans porn star who allegedly spied for Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko's KGB secret service has been arrested.
Daria Ostapenko, 36, a veterinarian by profession who was also an active OnlyFans model, has been detained in Poland, where she is suspected of collaborating with Lukashenko's secret service for seven years.
She is accused of posing as an opposition pro-democracy activist supposedly seeking to overthrow Lukashenko, while in fact informing the feared KGB about democracy activists who have fled abroad, including to Poland.
Lukashenko is Vladimir Putin's closest ally, and the Minsk autocrat's economy and defense are completely dependent on the Kremlin.
Part of Ostapenko's cover was to work as a model and receive money from subscribers for online pornography, it is alleged.

She is accused of posing as a pro-democracy opposition activist seeking to overthrow Lukashenko's alleged election fraud (pictured), while in fact informing the feared KGB about democracy campaigners who have fled abroad, including to Poland.
Previously, she had reportedly worked as a hardcore porn star with the nickname Rita Martin.
As a suspected opposition activist among the Belarusian diaspora in Poland, “she spoke of the need to act decisively to overthrow the government in Belarus, namely by force,” opposition news channel Zerkalo reported.
“She proposed collecting weapons, breaking into Belarus and causing an explosion on the Belarusian border.”
But after a drinking session, she spoke about her real role in Poland and reported to Lukashenko's feared KGB, which routinely tortures the dictator's enemies.
“Information about her was transferred to the Polish Internal Security Service, and she was detained the same day,” the news channel reported.
Sources say evidence of her ties to the KGB was found on her smartphone. She is currently in custody.
According to reports, the adult actress has been charged under Poland's espionage laws, which allow sentences of five to 30 years in prison.
“Ostapenko's chosen profession made her extremely vulnerable to recruitment, as Belarusian authorities could catch her violating the extremely strict Belarusian prostitution and pornography laws,” Polish news channel Onet reported.
“Sources report that Ostapenko may have started collaborating with the KGB as early as 2017.”
She once posed as an opposition activist at a polling station where dictator Lukashenko was voting.

'The [alleged] The spy's career collapsed because of her own mistake,” the outlet reported. 'Ostapenko, while drunk, told her friends that she worked for the Belarusian security services.
'That same day, Polish authorities arrested Ostapenko. On her phone, Homeland Security found evidence of communications with Belarusian intelligence officers.”
Lukashenko is accused of fraudulently winning the 2020 presidential election.
The real victor is seen as pro-Western Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, 41, who ran for election after her husband Syarhei Tsikhanouski, 45, was jailed by Lukashenko and prevented from running. She is now in exile.
Many pro-democracy activists remain locked up.
