Edward Snowden has found himself a new job
Snowden, who has asylum in Russia, has found a technical support job.
THE LAWYER FOR former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden says his client has found a technical support job at a Russian website.
Anatoly Kucherena told the RIA Novosti news agency today that Snowden starts his new job on Friday.
Kucherena declined to name the company that has hired Snowden – but says it’s a major Russian website.
Snowden was granted asylum in Russia in August after being stuck at a Moscow airport for more than a month after flying there from Hong Kong. His whereabouts in Russia remain secret.
The 30-year-old faces espionage charges in the US for uncovering a mass surveillance scheme at the National Security Agency.
