A married couple went on trial in Germany on Tuesday accused of handing hundreds of sensitive NATO and European Union documents to Russia during a two-decade spying career that continued well beyond the end of the Cold War.
"This is a case of treason that has been going on
for more than 20 years, involving the entire range of intelligence
activity, from trying to recruit new sources to instructing others, all
the way to writing their own reports on political and military matters,"
federal prosecutor Rolf Hannich said.
In Germany, spying can be punished by up to 10 years in jail.
