She became a spy under Captain Georges Ladoux (1875-1933), thanks to her lover, a young Russian anarchist. As part of her duties, she became the mistress of von Krohn, the Naval Attaché of the German Navy in Madrid. Captain Ladoux was later arrested for being a double agent himself, but eventually cleared of all charges.
