Fostul șef al spionajului german, arestat pentru trădare

August Hanning, former head of Germany's BND, has been placed in preventive detention on suspicion of treason and espionage for allegedly providing classified information to Azerbaijan. His lawyer claims Hanning is being unjustly persecuted, despite acknowledging he possessed confidential documents. A federal judge issued the arrest warrant for Hanning, who is accused of espionage and attempted treason. Additionally, his former office director, Manfred D., has also been detained for complicity. The investigation suggests they exchanged around 2,000 documents from 2010 to 2026. The scandal has raised concerns among British intelligence, prompting MI6 to investigate potential exposure of undercover agents.
