Help with a spy

Hello, I need some help regarding an enemy spy issue. I conquered Constantinopole ~20 turns ago and I think there's a spy inside the city because whenever the enemy assaults my walls I get the "My lord, a treacherous wolf has opened our gates .... " message and I also have 15% unrest in the settlement (which, I heard, is usually caused by enemy spies).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I have 3 great spies (lots of ancillaries and traits) in the city and they still can't catch that stupid enemy spy.

The mighty strategist Tudor the 93rd unable to catch a simple spy? There must be more to this than meets the eye. Maybe the game contains a hidden emulation of the Kerkoporta problem. Is the year around 1453?

Or you could try to move a general with the trait spy-catcher (if you have one) to Constantinople and install him as governor. Just a thought though, I do not know how the abilities of generals and own spies to catch enemy spies interact.

With a good assassin you could try to assassinate the spy. It is hard, but sometimes it works.

Is there any chance that the spy is in the AI army, does his bit, then goes back inside the army

You need you own spy to make him visible. For that move the spy into you own city and voila, if his skill is high enough, you can see the spy. Then take the assassin and assign him to kill the spy. Easy as cake if you have the right personnel! Considering your kingdom, you have some of these by now.
