Der Spiegel: August Hanning, fostul șef al BND din Germania, arestat pentru spionaj și trădare, ar fi avut legături și cu China

August Hanning, former head of German intelligence, was arrested for alleged espionage linked to a former Chinese general. Hanning had longstanding ties with Wang Jianzheng, who translated German books into Chinese. He is suspected of leaking confidential documents after retiring, using information from his former staff. Investigators believe he received around 2,000 secret documents, some intended for the German Chancellor. Hanning's connections to Azerbaijan were known, and he was involved with the German-Azerbaijani Forum. The case raises concerns about national security and could be a significant failure for German intelligence.
