German media: arrest of former intelligence chief puts cooperation with the US under pressure

U.S. intelligence has warned Germany's BND about potential changes in cooperation following the arrest of former BND chief August Hanning. This has caused significant concern within the BND, prompting leaders to report any changes in collaboration. While the U.S. will still share information in urgent cases, there are indications that the quality and quantity of shared intelligence may be declining. Hanning, arrested for espionage and treason, allegedly accessed secret documents for a foreign intelligence service with the help of his aide, Manfred D. An internal investigation is underway at the BND regarding the espionage activities.
