German prosecutors have charged a German-Syrian dual national with spying on exiled dissidents in Germany for Syria's intelligence services. The federal prosecutor's office said Friday it filed espionage charges in Berlin court against the 37-year-old man, whom it identified only as Samer C.
Prosecutors allege that the suspect worked for Syrian intelligence from March 2011 to February 2012, snooping on Syrian dissidents living in Germany. They say that his main activity was taking photos of dissidents, and he passed the information to the military attache's office at the Syrian Embassy in Berlin. (AP)
