German police detained a British employee of the U.K. Embassy in Berlin on suspicion of spying for Russia, prosecutors said Wednesday
BERLIN—.
The arrest took place on Tuesday, when police and members of the Federal Criminal Police Office, Germany’s equivalent of the FBI, searched the man’s home and office at the embassy, the federal prosecutor said. The suspect, a U.K. citizen named only as David S. who was hired as local staff by the embassy, passed on written documents to a Russian intelligence worker in exchange for cash payments, German federal prosecutors said.
It is unclear how many documents the man passed on to his contact or how much money he had received, but he is suspected of having worked for Russia since at least November, prosecutors said. The arrest, which took place in Potsdam, near Berlin, was the result of a joint German and British investigation, according to German prosecutors and a U.K. embassy spokesman.
