The case of a suspected spy of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) turned out to be more explosive than previously known.
According to Tagesshau, Spiegel became aware of this.
In particular, the Russian special service of the FSB tried to obtain data on the location of artillery positions and air defense positions of the Ukrainian army through the BND employee, who is currently under arrest.
Accordingly, the FSB instructed a BND agent to capture and transmit to it GPS data from the US-supplied HIMARS multiple-launch rocket systems and the Berlin-supplied IRIS-T air defense system.
As a reward for his services, the employee received a six-figure sum, the money was found on him during his detention.
However, according to insiders, it is unlikely that such data was transferred.
As reported, on December 21, the Federal Prosecutor's Office of Germany arrested an employee of the country's Federal Intelligence Service on suspicion of treason - the man is suspected of spying for Russia.
Later it became known that Russia could receive secret information about the situation in Ukraine through a detained special service employee.
