Fostul șef al serviciului german de informații externe, August Hanning, a fost arestat sub suspiciunea de spionaj

Former head of Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, August Hanning, was arrested on espionage charges alongside his former chief of staff, Manfred D. Hanning faces allegations of treason, spying on state secrets, and acting as an agent for foreign intelligence. Investigations suggest he may have received nearly 2,000 classified documents from Manfred D. for personal consultancy profit. The inquiry began after a raid in September 2025, with the Federal Prosecutor's Office taking over in May 2026. Hanning has consistently denied any wrongdoing, despite long-standing suspicions of him being a Russian informant.
