Two employees of the Spanish National Intelligence Center (CNI), suspected of delivering "high-risk documents" to the United States, will appear in court, judicial sources reported in La Razón newspaper.
The newspaper reported that one of the spies was the head of the Russian board while the other was subordinate to him. The hearings will take place in the District Court of Madrid. They are accused of treason and revealing secrets and information relating to national security and defense.
The judge in the case ordered a temporary arrest for both and justified it by the risk of flight. Despite this, in November 2023 one of the accused was released and in December 2024 the other. Precautionary measures burden both of them, including a ban on leaving the country. The accused deny their guilt and warn that they were the target of surveillance within the CNI.
