German authorities have arrested a man
identified by media as a German intelligence officer who
allegedly passed secrets to the U.S.
German media warned that if the man is
found guilty, it would be “the biggest scandal involving a
German—American double agent since the war,” The Daily Telegraph reported.
Federal prosecutors said that a
31-year-old German was arrested on July 2 on suspicion of spying for an
unidentified foreign power. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman,
Steffen Seibert, called the case “a serious matter,” declining to
elaborate on the prosecutors’ statement.
“The Chancellor was also informed of this case yesterday,” Eibert told reporters in Berlin. More on this spy here.
