PARIS — A senior French army officer based abroad has been arrested and handed preliminary treason charges for sharing highly sensitive intelligence with a foreign power, authorities said Sunday.
Europe-1 radio reported that the lieutenant colonel is accused of passing "ultra-sensitive" information to Russian secret services. It reported that the officer served on a NATO base in Italy, and was arrested while on vacation in France.
French authorities would not confirm which foreign power the senior officer is suspected of spying for.
Defense Minister Florence Parly said the officer is under investigation for "serious security breaches."
