onthedarkside Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 A spy at Berlin's British embassy, who sold secrets to Russia and was caught in an undercover MI5 sting, has been jailed for 13 years and two months. David Smith, 58, tried to damage Britain's interests by passing on details of the embassy and its staff for cash payments, a judge found after the spy pleaded guilty. Sentencing him, Mr Justice Wall said Smith had "put people at maximum risk". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64669885 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 BBC was showing sentencing hearing live, for quite a bit. Was interesting at the very least. But then 6 pm came and poof! gone. to run a few "ads" for various sponsors I don't think they ever went back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave0206 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm not going to defend him but it shows the danger of online miss information. He became pro Russia and putin because of reading one sided views online you read a few articles online and this will be all news you will get to reaffirm that thought's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
