A Canadian citizen of Chinese origin is arrested in Belgium on suspicions of espionage, authorities said. The person was detained while serving as an intern at NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Mons, a US-led defence alliance headquarters. Authorities state the intern is suspected of carrying out “espionage on behalf of a third country.” The arrest occurs after the person was taken into custody in Belgium on Thursday, with officials indicating the matter is under investigation. The reports describe the individual’s role as an internship assignment at SHAPE, without detailing specific duties or evidence. No further information about the alleged third country, the nature of the information involved, or whether charges have been filed is provided in the available accounts. The cases emphasize that the arrest is based on spying suspicions and that investigations are ongoing.
