> German authorities have arrested a Ukrainian man suspected of spying on a defense company for a foreign intelligence service. The Munich General Prosecutor’s Office and the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office said there were “strong grounds” to believe he was a “low-level agent.” They said he allegedly acted on behalf of the intelligence service of a foreign nation. The case concerns an espionage suspicion, not a confirmed conviction.
