U-August Hanning, obehola i-Federal Intelligence Service (eyaziwa ngesifinyezo sesiJalimane esithi BND) kusukela ngo-1998 kuya ku-2005, “usolwa kakhulu ngokuhlola okuhambisana nokukhaphela izwe, ukuhlola izimfihlo zombuso, kanye nokuzama ukukhaphela izwe,” kusho isitatimende esikhishwe ihhovisi lomshushisi kahulumeni.

“Esimweni esisodwa, kukhona ukusola kokuthi uMnu. Hanning wasebenzisa ulwazi oluyimfihlo ukulungisa uhlaziyo lwesisebenzi senkonzo yezobunhloli yakwamanye amazwe,” kusho u-Ines Peterson, okhulumela ihhovisi lomshushisi kahulumeni, etshela inkampani yezokusakaza yaseJalimane i-RTL.

“Kwesinye isimo, kuthiwa wadlulisa ulwazi ngemuva kokuxhumana okuningi — futhi lokhu kwakwenziwa nesisebenzi senye inkonzo yezobunhloli.”

Akukho uPeterson noma isitatimende sangaphambilini sehhovisi lomshushisi esidalule ukuthi laba besilisa ababili babesolwa ngokuhlola ubani noma ukuthi yiziphi izinkonzo zezobunhloli zakwamanye amazwe abazinikeza ulwazi oluyimfihlo.

Izindawo ezingezalaba besilisa bobabili ziseshiwe ngoLwesibili.

Ihhovisi lomshushisi lithe uManfred D. wayesebenza njengenhloko yabasebenzi bakaHanning futhi kamuva waba yinhloko yabasebenzi bezinhloko eziningi ze-BND ezalandela, kusukela ngo-2012 kuya ku-2026.

“Esikhundleni sakhe, wayekwazi ukufinyelela olwazini oluyimfihlo,” kusho ihhovisi lomshushisi.

Kukholakala ukuthi bobabili abasolwa bavumelana ngo-2010 ukuthi uManfred D. aqhubeke nokudlulisa ulwazi olubalulekile lwezobunhloli oluvela ku-BND aluyise kuHanning ukuze athole inkokhelo, kusho isitatimende. “Okutholakele kwamanje kusikisela ukuthi, eminyakeni edlule, uManfred D. unikeze uHanning imibhalo ecishe ibe ngu-2,000, eminingi yayo equkethe ulwazi oluyimfihlo oluzosetshenziswa kuphela yi-federal intelligence service ngezinjongo zangaphakathi, ikakhulukazi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngezobunhloli,” kusho isitatimende.

UHanning wasebenzisa lolu lwazi emsebenzini wokubonisana ngasese kanti uManfred D., ohambisana nemithetho yobumfihlo yaseJalimane engenakubizwa ngegama lakhe eliphelele, wanikeza uHanning ulwazi oluyimfihlo kwaze kwaba nguJuni 2022, kusho uPeterson.

Uphenyo ngalelo cala luholele ekuboshweni kwabantu ngoLwesibili.

Izinqubo zamanje zisuselwa ebufakazini obutholakale ngesikhathi kuseshwa ikhaya likaHanning mayelana nalelo cala, ngokusho kwehhovisi lomshushisi kahulumeni omkhulu.
