Canadian NATO intern arrested in Belgium after raids
A Canadian woman of Chinese origin interning at NATO's SHAPE headquarters in Mons, Belgium, has been arrested on espionage charges for allegedly spying for a third country and belonging to a criminal organization. Belgian authorities say she was identified by SHAPE's internal security, and searches were conducted at her home and workplace prior to the arrest, with investigations continuing. NATO and SHAPE have not disclosed the suspect's identity or the country alleged to be the espionage target, and officials have provided few details on the alleged activities. The investigation involves multiple agencies, including the General Intelligence and Security Service, and a formal arrest warrant was issued after coordinated raids. Belgian officials stated there is no indication that NATO or SHAPE operations were affected.
