A German military officer has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for espionage. The officer, who was stationed at the army's procurement office in Koblenz, was convicted of passing classified documents to Russia's consulate in Bonn and embassy in Berlin. The information included details related to munitions systems and aircraft technology. The court in Düsseldorf found the 54-year-old guilty of selling procurement secrets to Russian intelligence services. The officer reportedly threw CDs over a wall to pass information and was motivated by a spiral of fake news online, aiming to prevent a nuclear conflict. The case has gained significant attention amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
