Germany's former domestic intelligence chief is set to face criminal charges including espionage and attempted treason, according to an NPR report. Prosecutors' decision to bring treason charges against the country's one-time top spy is highly unusual and is expected to intensify debate in Germany about how intelligence services are overseen and how such cases are handled politically.
Why now: Charging a former head of German intelligence with treason is an extraordinary and unprecedented development in national politics.
