Belgian prosecutors say the intern was flagged by NATO security services and is also suspected of belonging to a criminal organization.

  • At NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Mons, Belgium, prosecutors arrested a Canadian intern of Chinese origin on espionage charges on Friday.
  • Security services at SHAPE identified the suspect and reported her to Belgian intelligence officials, triggering the investigation that led to her arrest at the NATO military base.
  • Searches of the suspect's home and workplace occurred on the arrest day, where the Federal Public Prosecutor stated she is suspected of "spying on behalf of a third country."
  • A SHAPE spokesperson confirmed NATO's operational readiness and command arrangements remain unaffected, stating, "SHAPE continues to fulfil its responsibilities without interruption."
  • With the investigation ongoing, authorities have withheld the suspect's identity and personal details, and the Federal Public Prosecutor has provided no further comment.
