The 48-year-old man reportedly illegally entered South Ossetia from Georgian territory.
Unlike previous years, Syria opted to abstain, rather than vote against the resolution.
South Ossetia’s security services reported that 15 people were detained for similar violations in April.
The majority of Abkhazians and South Ossetians already have Russian citizenship.
The suspect allegedly passed on state secrets to Georgia’s State Security Service and could face up to 20 years imprisonment.
An attack on South Ossetia’s customs chief is believed to have been carried out by close associates of President Alan Gagloev’s brother.
