Greek defence authorities have arrested a member of the Greek defence forces accused of leaking “secret information” to “third parties,” the Greek National
Defence General Staff (GEETHA) said on Thursday.
Two months ago, Greece’s intelligence service received a tip-off ffrom a Western national security agency that “highly sensitive” information was leaked to China by a member of the country’s military personnel, sources close to the investigation added.
The man, a member of the Greek Air Force in the wider Athens region, was later closely monitored by Greek authorities and he was arrested on suspicion that he intended to leak even more sensitive information to his operator abroad, who is allegedly linked with China.
“The arrest took place within a military area, in cooperation and coordination with other state services,” GEETHA said in a press release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
