Spanish judge opens an investigation into intelligence agents who allegedly passed secrets to the US
MADRID (AP) — Spain’s defense minister says a Madrid judge has opened an investigation into several agents of Spain’s National Intelligence Center for an alleged leak of secret information to the United States. Confirming a report in Spanish digital newspaper El Confidencial, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said the intelligence center itself had filed a complaint with the court. Robles declined to give any further details on Monday, saying the case is subject to a gag order. Spanish daily newspaper El PaÃs reported that two agents were arrested recently in connection with the case. The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the information.
