Briton arrested in Germany accused of spying for Russia
A British man working at the embassy in Berlin has been arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia, German offiicals have said.
Prosecutors said a UK citizen accused of spying for the Kremlin since last year while working at the British Embassy had been detained.
The man was arrested on Tuesday in Potsdam following an investigation jointly headed by German and British authorities.
German privacy laws meant he could only be identified as Davis S. Detectives have conducted a search of his home and office.
Prosecutors said he was suspected of having spied for the Russian intelligence service at least since November.
Before his arrest, he worked at the British Embassy in the German capital, having been hired locally.
He allegedly passed on documents he received at work to the Russians, and received an unknown amount of cash in return, the prosecutor’s statement said.
