Edward Snowden,the US whistle-blower has been offered a job with a large Russian internet company, his lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena said on Thursday. Kucherena has said that Snowden needs to find work because he is running out of money.
Snowden's first day at work will be on Friday, and his task will be to maintain and develop one of Russia's biggest Websites. The lawyer however declined to name the website but Russian media named Snowden's employer as Vkontakte, the country's biggest social media Website.
Vkontakte founder Pavel Durov has reportedly made Snowden a job offer, and his company was the only Russian technology firm which did not deny that Snowden would work there.
"Sadly I cannot comment on this news,’’ company spokesman Grigory Lobushkin told the agency.
Snowden, who is wanted by Washington on espionage charges, was given asylum for a year in Russia, on the condition that he stopped leaking U.S. intelligence information.
However, his previous leaks continue to embarrass the U.S., German media reported at the weekend that U.S. intelligence agencies have tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone since 2002, deepening a spying dispute with Berlin.(NAN)
