The two agents allegedly provided Washington with operational data classified at the highest level.
A judge in Madrid has opened an investigation into two agents of Spain’s National Intelligence Centre for allegedly passing secret information to the United States, the country’s defence minister said on Monday.
They were arrested last September and sent to prison after being brought before a judge, Spanish daily El Confidencial confirmed.
What is known so far is that those under investigation allegedly provided Washington with operational data classified at the highest level.
The Spanish Penal Code punishes any Spaniard who discloses classified information with the intention of favouring a foreign power with six to twelve years in prison.
The newspaper El Confidencial said that these arrests “would have provoked a crisis with Washington, although the government of Pedro Sánchez has tried to keep it quiet”.
