PARIS: In a case that could be from a spy thriller, two former French intelligence agents go on trial on Monday accused of having passed on secrets to a foreign power.
Both men worked for France’s foreign intelligence service, the DGSE. They face 15 years in prison if convicted. The court that tries them will be made up exclusively of professional magistrates, and given the sensitive nature of the case, will probably be tried behind closed doors. It was the DGSE itself that detected the leak and presented its findings to prosecutors, said the defence ministry.Officials have said little about the details of the case or even for which country they were allegedly working.
He retired a few years later and returned to China in 2003, where he married the former interpreter, setting up home on Hainan island in southern China.
