NewzAzerbaijan officially denied allegations linking its intelligence services to the recent arrest of August Hanning, the former head of Germany's Federal Intelligence Service (BND). The statement, issued on October 7 in Baku, categorically rejected reports from international media outlets that suggested a connection between the Azerbaijani government and the espionage accusations facing the former German official.
The denial follows widespread international reporting regarding Hanning's legal situation. By publicly addressing these claims, the Azerbaijani government seeks to distance itself from the ongoing investigation into the former German intelligence chief, maintaining that there is no factual basis for the alleged involvement of its own security apparatus.
