周二，该人因涉嫌企图叛国而被拘留。此案堪称冷战以来德国最大的情报丑闻之一。
was detained on Tuesday on suspicion of attempted treason in a case that ranks among Germany's biggest intelligence scandals since the Cold War.
检察官指控他花钱购买机密文件，并将其用于为外国情报机构撰写分析报告。
Prosecutors accused him of paying for secret documents and using them in an analysis for a foreign spy service.
不过检察官并未透露该情报机构的名称，目前也不清楚该分析报告是否送到了预定接收方。
They did not identify the intelligence service and it was not immediately clear whether the analysis reached its intended recipient.
一位资深安全事务议员指出，德国前对外情报机构负责人遭逮捕的情况史无前例，这可能会损害德国与盟友国家间的情报合作关系。
The arrest of a former head of Germany 's foreign intelligence is unprecedented and could damage the country's intelligence relationships with allied nations, according to a senior security lawmaker.
检察官办公室在声明中称：“汉宁涉嫌犯下叛国间谍罪、窃取国家机密、企图叛国及从事间谍活动。”
"Hanning is strongly suspected of treasonous espionage obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and espionage," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
周二晚些时候，《明镜周刊》报道称，调查人员正在排查此案是否与阿塞拜疆有关，报道还称汉宁曾与该国的一名特工有过接触。联邦检察官办公室拒绝对此报道置评。汉宁未回应置评请求，总理府也拒绝发表评论。
The Spiegel news magazine reported late on Tuesday that investigators were pursuing a possible connection to Azerbaijan It reported Hanning had been in contact with an agent from the country. The federal prosecutor's office declined to comment on the report. Hanning did not respond to a request for comment. The chancellery declined to comment.
据检察官介绍，2005年，汉宁结束为期七年的德国联邦情报局局长任期五年后，与一名前联邦情报局办公室主管达成协议，以支付报酬的方式获取机密情报信息。
Five years after his seven-year tenure as head of the BND foreign intelligence service ended in 2005, Hanning agreed with a former BND office manager to receive confidential intelligence information in exchange for payment, according to prosecutors.
按照隐私保护规定，这名办公室主管被称为曼弗雷德·D，他也在周二遭到逮捕。目前两人都将接受联邦最高法院法官的审理。
The office manager, identified as Manfred D. in line with privacy rules, was also arrested on Tuesday, and both were due to appear before a judge at the Federal Court of Justice.
曼弗雷德·D在2006年3月前一直担任历任联邦情报局局长的办公室主管，这意味着他有可能接触到德国当时最机密的情报，而检察官称这些情报正是从该机构被窃取的。
Manfred D. served as office manager to successive BND presidents until March 2026, potentially giving him access to some of Germany's most current intelligence at the time that prosecutors say documents were being siphoned from the service.
