A disgruntled security guard has admitted spying for Russia while working at the British embassy in Berlin.
Briton David Ballantyne Smith, 58, is said to have been driven by an intense hatred for his own country and wanted to live in Russia or Ukraine at the time he passed on secret intelligence from May 2020.
Despite living beyond his means, 800 euro in cash was found at his home in Potsdam in Germany when he was arrested in August last year, police said.
