Fost șef al spionajului german, arestat pentru înaltă trădare. Legătura cu un fost oficial MApN • Newsweek România

August Hanning, former head of Germany's BND, was arrested on October 6 for espionage and high treason. He had business ties in Romania, partnering with Andrei Ignat, a former defense ministry official, in a military consultancy firm. Hanning held a 20% stake in the company, which was involved in defense consulting. The investigation involves nearly 2,000 classified documents allegedly leaked by Hanning, raising concerns among Western intelligence agencies. Ignat confirmed their association but stated he was unaware of Hanning's alleged espionage activities. The case has implications for ongoing military procurement programs in Romania, particularly with German defense contractor Rheinmetall.
