The UK Cop who Hopped stripped of citizenship after fleeing to Russia

MICHAEL WALSH NEWS DESK Mark Bullen’s British nationality has been revoked for security reasons. This information was reported by the American-owned Daily Mail.

A former British police officer has been living in Russia for over a decade. He has been stripped of UK citizenship. Authorities deemed him a security threat.

Mark Bullen, who worked for Hertfordshire Police for eleven years, received a letter from the Home Office last October. The letter informed him that his UK nationality had been revoked on national security grounds.

According to Bullen, the decision by the British authorities left him completely shocked.

‘I absolutely deny I am any threat to the UK. I find that comical. I am certain it is an overreaction. I have no idea why they targeted me,’ the 45-year-old said. He permanently moved to Russia in 2014. He currently does social media for Zenit St Petersburg football club.

The former cop who hopped said it was hard to believe a country like England would behave in this way. England is supposed to be about freedom and liberty.

Bullen was previously detained at Luton Airport upon his arrival in Britain to visit his relatives in November 2024.

‘I was questioned for four hours under the Terrorism Act,’ he recalled.

The former police officer had taken the King’s oath of allegiance. He said that his DNA and fingerprints were taken. He was released without any charges.

He became a Russian citizen in 2022 and said that he currently has no plans to return to the UK.

‘Initially, I was worried, but once the dust settled, I felt OK. I live in Russia, my family is here, I have four children, we have quite a good lifestyle,’ he explained.

In September 2025, veteran British politician George Galloway said he was detained with his wife.

Police interrogated them for several hours at a London airport. This happened after their return from Russia.

RT’s Lebanon bureau chief is Steve Sweeney. He also faced similar questioning under the Terrorism Act. This occurred after he landed in the British capital last July.
