August Hanning, former head of Germany's BND, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and treason. Prosecutors allege he used classified intelligence to draft an analysis for a foreign service and maintained contact with another. A former BND employee, Manfred D, allegedly passed Hanning about 2,000 classified documents for money. Investigators have not named the foreign powers involved.
