The officer of justice stated that 2 intelligence officers had been accused of sharing information that “undermine basic interests of the state” and “discovery information of a military secret”. The Quotidien source pointed out that these suspects had been detained and placed to remand prisons in Fresnay and Fleury-Mérogis. The wife of a detained is under juridical supervision.
Such a crime in France is punishable by imprisonment for 30 years and by a fine of € 450,000.
In an interview to CNews, French Minister of the Armed Forces Florence Parly stressed that the “treason” of 2 ex-members of the external intelligence agency had been “highly likely” committed during their service. Parly didn’t clarify the exact country what the intelligence officers had been working for.
French media claims that the detained intelligence officers had been working for China, providing Chinese security officials with information about French methods of operation.
On May 25, Reuters claimed that a close adviser to French President Emmanuel Macron had refused to comment on Chinese involvement in the case.
On May 26, French news radio Europe 1 published a journalistic investigation on the issue of intelligence officers involved in the case. According to the investigation, Henri M., Pierre-Marie H. and his wife Laurence were revealed as suspects that had committed this crime.
It’s mossad back then. Mossad right now.
mossad works openly with them,no need for spying. I think they got it right this time and it really is China that’s doing the spying
Joint work within same goal not quite right when the other sides get robbed off naked from all it’s secret because one or two of their countrymen only see the ‘greens’.
the chinese has paris movie at jean yanne excellente movie lol!!
“Next stop Alphaville”
yes!
If they’ve been working for China, it’s hardly worth the bother of prosecuting. Better to spend the money on expelling the zionist terror cells.
