现年80岁的德国前联邦情报局（BND）局长August Hanning因间谍罪、叛国罪和企图叛国罪被逮捕1。Hanning曾于1998至2005年间担任BND局长1。德国联邦检察部门指控他通过前幕僚长Manfred D.获得近2000份BND机密文件用于私人咨询业务，并向外国情报人员泄露机密信息1。Manfred D.自2012年3月至2026年3月在该职位任职，涉嫌在数年内向Hanning传递这些文件并获得金钱回报1。
被泄露的机密信息涉及德国安全机构高管在总理办公室的例行会议记录，包括伊朗核计划和俄罗斯武装力量分析1。2025年9月，汉堡警方在搜查Hanning住所时发现存储设备中含有绝密BND文件1。联邦检察部门于2026年5月对Hanning和Manfred D.启动秘密调查1。绿党议员Konstantin von Notz称此为"严重和重大指控"，并要求加强对前高管游说活动的监督1。这一案件是德国历史上重大的间谍案，可能损害德国与盟国的情报合作1。
German authorities have arrested August Hanning, the country's former intelligence chief, on charges of espionage, treason, and attempted treason 1. The 80-year-old, who led the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) from 1998 to 2005, is accused of systematically obtaining classified documents and disclosing state secrets to foreign intelligence operatives 1. Hanning allegedly worked with his former chief of staff, Manfred D., who served in that position from March 2012 to March 2026, to illegally acquire nearly 2,000 BND classified files over several years in exchange for financial compensation 1.
The prosecution contends that Hanning maintained close contacts with foreign intelligence officials and leaked sensitive information spanning multiple years 1. The classified material reportedly included details from regular security briefings held in the German Chancellor's office, as well as intelligence assessments concerning Iran's nuclear program and Russian armed forces 1. The case represents one of the most serious espionage scandals in German history and risks damaging intelligence-sharing relationships between Germany and its allies 1.
The investigation began after Hamburg police discovered storage devices containing highly classified BND files during a search of Hanning's residence in September 2025 1. Federal prosecutors launched a formal investigation into both Hanning and Manfred D. in May 2026 1. Green Party parliamentarian Konstantin von Notz characterized the allegations as "serious and significant" and called for strengthened oversight of lobbying activities by former senior officials 1.
