Daniel Khalife found guilty of spying for Tehran

ai generated text

Daniel Khalife, a 23-year-old individual, was found guilty of espionage and terrorism charges. He was accused of breaching the Official Secrets Act and the Terrorism Act, and prosecutors alleged that he could have seriously harmed military personnel.

    1. He surreptitiously sought out and obtained copies of secret and sensitive information which he knew were protected and passed these on to individuals he believed to be acting on behalf of the Iranian state.
    1. It's fair to say in the first 24 hours, probably up to 36 hours, we had no idea where he was. He could have been anywhere.
    2. I think he probably enjoyed the thrill of the deception throughout. It's impossible to disentangle his ego, the fantasy life that he created for himself, the money that he earned, his allegiance in whatever form it might be to Iran and his lack of consideration for the damage he was doing here.
    1. I thought I needed to gain media publicity, I felt like a grey man. I was stupid and naive to do what I've done. I was naive in thinking they would want to work with me.
    2. I'm one of the top soldiers in my unit. I'm one of the most intelligent people. I won an award. I am better than everybody else here. I am more intelligent than everybody here.
    3. I really don't think anybody would believe it if I told this story to anyone. When normal people are informed of these matters, they just don't believe it, because it's unbelievable, incomprehensible.
    4. I wasn't thinking very straight. To be honest with you I was thinking I could be James Bond or something, like an idiot.
    5. I believe I was demonstrating what a waste it was having someone with skills like mine in prison. I wanted to exude an air of professionalism.
