A former deputy head of Moldovan intelligence reportedly arrested for treason for ‘transmitting state secrets’
A joint operation between several central European countries has identified an alleged Belarusian spy ring that reportedly included a former deputy head of Moldovan intelligence.
A statement from Eurojust, the European Union’s criminal justice coordination body, said it had worked with Romanian, Czech and Hungarian authorities to “capture an individual investigated for the crime of treason by way of transmitting state secrets”. The Czech Republic expelled a Belarusian diplomat over the affair, as did Moldova.
