German prosecutors have filed charges against a suspected spy for Russia, accusing her of passing information to an intelligence operative at the Russian embassy.<\/p>\n
Federal prosecutors based in Karlsruhe said on Monday she had been charged with covert intelligence agent activity.<\/p>\n
The German-Ukrainian dual national was arrested in January and has been in custody since then.<\/p>\n
The alleged agent is said to have been in contact with the intelligence officer since October 2023 at the latest.<\/p>\n
“For years, the accused provided him with numerous tips about high-profile events and ensured that he was able to attend such events, in some cases under a false name,” the prosecutors’ statement said.<\/p>\n
“This was intended to enable him to build his own network for intelligence purposes.”<\/p>\n
The suspect also tried to “recruit people from the Ministry of Defence and from the arms industry for her purposes,” the prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Acting on behalf of the intelligence officer, she sought information on German defence policy and the arms industry, particularly in relation to Russia’s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The courts must now decide whether the case should go to trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
