Germany’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office suspects former intelligence chief August Hanning of working for an Azerbaijani agent

This is reported by “Important Stories”, retelling a Der Spiegel publication. According to the outlet, this report was intended for an Azerbaijani intelligence officer.

The investigation believes that Hanning used documents received from the former head of his office, Manfred D. Journalists write that the former intelligence officer did indeed maintain contacts with representatives of Baku.

In particular, Hanning was a member of the board of the “German-Azerbaijani Forum” organization. Hanning’s lawyer refused to speak with journalists and did not comment on the report about his client’s ties to Azerbaijan.
