🇩🇪 Ex-BND Chief Suspected of Leaking Secrets to UK and Azerbaijan

British and US intelligence agencies (MI6, GCHQ) launched a massive audit after former BND head August Hanning was arrested for espionage. The Telegraph reports fears that secret materials shared with German intelligence, including agent identities, may be compromised.

Der Spiegel alleges Hanning bought classified documents from ex-colleague Manfred D. and prepared analyses for Azerbaijani intelligence. He also served on the board of the German-Azerbaijan Forum.

Baku protested via diplomatic channels, calling the report an unacceptable information manipulation.
