The "falsely" in this headline is very weird. The Russian government has accused Gershkovitch of espionage.

Therefore, as an adjectival phrase, "falsely" is editorializing.

I know what WSJ is after, conveying that doctrinally, their reporter Evan Gershkovitch did not commit espionage. But this headline really seems like a confusing place to push that.

The “West” is cooked. Bob Marley said it best: “You can fool some people some time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
