JAKARTA - Germany's federal prosecutor's office has indicted a former reservist on suspicion of spying for Russian intelligence. A lot of important information has already been sent to the Kremlin.
The indictment identified the man as Ralph G. This is not his real name because it is governed by German privacy laws, as quoted from Deutsche Welle, Saturday 2 April.
The man, called Ralph G, had been in contact with Russian agents from October 2014 to March 2020.
"The defendant is reasonably suspected of working for foreign intelligence services against the Federal Republic of Germany and against a NATO party state," the prosecutor's statement said.
According to the indictment, Ralph G served as a reserve officer in the German armed forces. In fact, he was also the deputy head of the district liaison command.
The accused was also a member of a number of committees involved in the German economy because of his professional civil work.
The indictment said he had shared documents and information with Russian agents on various occasions over several years. This he did in return for an invitation to an event organized by the Kremlin.
Prosecutors said the defendant shared information about the reserve system of the Bundeswehr (German armed forces) in relation to civil-military cooperation and "civil defence."
Ralph G. is also accused of providing Russian intelligence agents with personal data and contact details of high-ranking Bundeswehr members.
