A Canadian NATO intern has been arrested on espionage charges in Belgium, according to Belgian authorities. The suspect, identified as a Canadian national, was placed under arrest following a closed-door hearing. The arrest comes after Belgian police conducted searches at the suspect’s home and workplace earlier this week.
The Belgian federal prosecutor’s office confirmed that the intern will remain in pretrial detention. Officials have not provided further details about the nature of the alleged espionage or the evidence against the suspect. The case is currently under investigation, and the suspect is expected to face formal charges in the coming days.
The intern is believed to be working with NATO, though no official confirmation has been released. Belgian authorities have not commented further on the case, citing the sensitivity of the matter. The suspect is currently in custody and is expected to appear before a court in the near future.
