German intelligence ex-leader and officer charged with espionage
August Hanning, the former head of Germany's foreign intelligence agency, BND, has been reported to have been arrested on espionage charges. Additionally, a close employee of his has been detained for allegedly providing him with secret information still held by intelligence services and using it in advisory work. The federal prosecutor confirmed that the case is not related to connections with Russia, and the charges include attempted high treason and working on behalf of foreign entities. Hanning held leadership positions within the intelligence agency from 1998 to 2005 before moving to the private sector to work as a security consultant. Meanwhile, the investigation into his possible connections to other issues, such as child abductions related to personal disputes, remains ongoing.
