In Berlin, the court recognized the guilty 56-year-old citizen of Germany guilty of espionage in favor of Russia, writes Deutsche Welle. It is reported that in the past he had “close ties” with the Ministry of State Security GDR (Stati).
According to the publication, in 2017, the ex-employee of the Stati got a job as a security company engaged in the inspection of electronic devices in the buildings of the German parliament. The accused had drawings of government buildings, which, as noted, were not classified, but were not intended for the public.

He received two years of conditional period, in addition, he was obliged to pay a fine of 15 thousand euros (more than 1.2 million rubles).
