"Drained" Data on HIMARS: in Germany judge the Russian Informant from Federal Intelligence

According to the journalists, shortly before the exposure of the BND operative was increased to the head of the staff security service. This enabled him to transmit information about agents to Moscow, making them vulnerable to blackmail or bribery. The ex-employee of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) is accused of treason, suspecting him of espionage in favor of Russia. About it reports Spiegel.

Last December, law enforcement agencies exposed the Russian "mole", and now the former high -ranking employee of German intelligence Karsten L. became the object of accusations by the Prosecutor General. He was charged with treason. According to the investigation, after Russia's attack on Ukraine last year, Karsten Linke transmitted the information obtained during his work.

It is, in particular, GPS data that would bring Russians to the concentration in Ukraine of American reactive systems of HIMARS and German IRIS-T. The federal prosecutor announced that this information is a state secret. Before exposing the BND, he was appointed Chief of the Personnel Security Service, which enabled him to transfer information about agents to Moscow, making them on potential blackmail or bribery.
