Overview
- In October 2025, the Home Office sent Bullen a letter from Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood revoking his British citizenship on national security grounds.
- Bullen was detained at Luton Airport in November 2024 under the Terrorism Act, questioned for about four hours, had DNA and fingerprints taken, and was released without charge.
- He says he will not return to the UK in the near future and maintains he has never been charged, citing commendations from his 11 years with Hertfordshire Police.
- He moved to St Petersburg in 2014, works for Zenit St Petersburg’s media team, and obtained Russian citizenship in 2022.
- The Home Office declined to comment, and reporting cites section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 as the legal basis for deprivation.
