“Modernising, capable and a hawk on Russia. August Hanning was regarded as all of those things during his seven years as chief of German intelligence” says David Blair.”Now, the professional reputation of this former spymaster, who led Germany’s version of MI6 – known as the BND – from 1998 until 2005, lies in ruins after he was arrested for allegedly passing classified information to an unnamed foreign power ” ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

August Hanning est soupçonné par la justice allemande d’avoir utilisé des informations classifiées du BND dans le cadre d’une activité au profit d’un service de renseignement étrangerSelon Der Spiegel, les enquêteurs soupçonnent que ce service était celui de l’Azerbaïdjan et que Hanning était en contact avec un agent azerbaïdjanaisCes soupçons prennent un relief particulier au regard des liens anciens et documentés de Hanning avec les réseaux d’influence azerbaïdjanais en Allemagne, notamment le Deutsch-Aserbaidschanisches Forum, dont il était membre du Vorstand #StopAliyevDictatorship lemonde.fr/international/art…

@301arm: RT by @mikenov: Former German intelligence chief August Hanning, who was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason, is being investigated over alleged links to Azerbaijani intelligence, according to Der Spiegel. Hanning,

Former German intelligence chief August Hanning, who was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason, is being investigated over alleged links to Azerbaijani intelligence, according to Der Spiegel.Hanning, 80, headed Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service, the BND, from 1998 to 2005. German federal prosecutors say he is suspected of obtaining classified information and using material derived from it in contacts with a foreign intelligence official.According to Der Spiegel, investigators believe the foreign intelligence officer involved was Azerbaijani. Hanning allegedly obtained classified BND documents from his former associate Manfred D. and used the information to prepare a written intelligence analysis intended for the Azerbaijani officer. Whether the analysis ultimately reached its intended recipient remains under investigation.Hanning is also known to have maintained connections with Azerbaijan. He previously served on the board of the German-Azerbaijani Forum, an organization promoting relations between the two countries.The forum has previously drawn scrutiny over its links to German politicians and Azerbaijan’s lobbying network. Several former German lawmakers have faced investigations or legal proceedings over allegations involving Azerbaijani money and political influence in Europe.Former Bundestag members Eduard Lintner and Axel Fischer have faced bribery proceedings over alleged payments linked to Azerbaijan, while former MP Karin Strenz was previously found to have violated Council of Europe rules over undisclosed conflicts of interest connected to Azerbaijan.German authorities arrested both Hanning and Manfred D. on October 6. Prosecutors are investigating Hanning on suspicion of treasonous espionage, obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and acting as an agent for a foreign intelligence service.German federal prosecutors have not publicly identified the foreign state involved, but Der Spiegel reports, citing investigators, that the suspected intelligence contact was Azerbaijani.Hanning’s lawyer has declined to comment publicly on the allegations concerning Azerbaijan.

#CIA CIA #FBI FBI #Mossad Mossad My Opinion: It is very unlikely that any documents on the true origins of 9/11 exist in principle – the matter is so sensitive and explosive. The plan was known to the very few people, presumably to Putin the Mastermind, his second, Bortnikov, likely, Schroeder, and probably some Mossad Chiefs. Hanning’s knowledge and tasks were likely limited by the Hamburg Cell. However, his ability to communicate with Russia and Israel, directly or via Azerbaijan, point to possibility of sharing this information and coordination. Hanning can disclose this and other information if he is given a good enough incentive in the process of further investigations.August Hanning’s communications implicate both Israel and Russia in the hypothetical origins of 9/11 – AI Mode:There is no evidence or official record indicating that August Hanning’s communications implicate Israel or Russia in the origins of the 9/11 attacks.The official consensus supported by the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that the September 11 attacks were planned and executed exclusively by the terrorist group al-Qaeda. While conspiracy theories frequently attempt to attribute the events to foreign states like Israel, these claims have been extensively thoroughly debunked by intelligence agencies and independent investigators. [1, 2]The recent prominence of August Hanning in public discourse stems from a completely separate event: in October 2026, the former head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) was arrested by German authorities on charges of treasonous espionage and spying. [3]Context of the 2026 Espionage CaseThe Allegations: Federal prosecutors accuse Hanning of purchasing roughly 2,000 classified internal BND documents from a former chief of staff (Manfred D.) between 2010 and 2022. He allegedly used this intelligence in his private consulting work to brief foreign intelligence entities. [3, 4, 5, 6]The Documents: The leaked materials reportedly contained executive intelligence briefings and data concerning Iran’s nuclear program and the Russian armed forces. [4, 5]Foreign Ties: German media reports suggest investigators are looking into a potential intelligence leak connected to Azerbaijan. While Hanning historically maintained high-level professional contacts with intelligence circles globally—including in Russia and Israel—nothing in the active criminal proceedings or the recovered documents links his communications to the origins or foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks.
