Reuters reported:
“’She is suspected of spying on behalf of a third country and of being a member of a criminal organization’, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.
The woman worked as an intern at NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in the Belgian city of Mons, the statement said. It did not provide further details of her identity or the country or organization she is suspected of spying for.”
NATO’s headquarters do the planning and carrying out all operations of the transatlantic military alliance.
“The suspect had come to the attention of SHAPE’s security services, who reported her to Belgian intelligence officials, according to the prosecutors’ statement. Investigators searched the suspect’s home and her workplace at SHAPE, and she was placed under arrest on Friday.
A SHAPE spokesperson said there was no indication that NATO or SHAPE operational readiness, command and control arrangements or ongoing tasks had been affected.”
