Shadow in the Alliance The arrest of a Canadian woman suspected of spying for a third country within NATO headquarters has sent shockwaves through the alliance, raising questions about its internal security and the intentions of China.
The Federal Prosecutor's Office in Belgium launched an espionage investigation after receiving a tip from NATO's security services, which then detained the suspect on Friday.
The alleged spy, a Canadian citizen of Chinese origin, was working as an intern at SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe), where military officials plan and command joint strategy, tactics, and operations.
