German authorities have detained former foreign intelligence chief August Hanning (80 years old) on charges of espionage and leaking state secrets. He is suspected of obtaining classified information from a former official in the agency, named Manfred D., who was his chief of staff during his leadership of the agency. It is believed that D. supplied Hanning with 2,000 secret documents related to nuclear programs and military procedures concerning Iran and Russia, in exchange for money, starting in 2010. This leak is considered to be extremely serious, as it could harm intelligence cooperation with friendly countries. Additionally, Hanning used the information in his private work after leaving intelligence service. Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent to which the intelligence materials he acquired have affected relations and operations of foreign agencies.
