德国前情报局长汉宁涉谍被捕 《明镜》：其与一名中国前将领有长期联系 本人否认
2026年10月9日，路透社援引德国《明镜》周刊报道称，因涉嫌间谍活动被捕的德国前联邦情报局（BND）局长奥古斯特·汉宁（August Hanning），与一名中国前高级将领有长期联系。据报道，汉宁曾多次前往中国，他认识的这位前少将王建政（音译）曾在中国驻原东德使馆任职，是涉德事务专家，并将多部德语书籍译成中文。汉宁于2005年离开联邦情报局。
汉宁于本周早些时候被拘留，涉嫌从其前幕僚长提供的机密文件中分享信息给外国情报人员。检方称，涉嫌活动发生在他退休后以独立安全顾问身份工作期间。检察官尚未说明他们认为哪些材料可能被分享、或分享给了谁。汉宁的代理律师未即时回应置评请求，但向《明镜》发表声明，否认其当事人损害德国利益，并称他正遭受错误指控。
公开资料显示，汉宁1998年至2005年任联邦情报局局长，2005年至2009年任联邦内政部国务秘书。路透社的相关图片说明显示，联邦情报局总部位于柏林；汉宁被捕时间为10月6日，罪名涉嫌叛国未遂与获取国家机密，其前幕僚长亦被一并调查。
此案在德国政坛与安全界引发震动：前情报最高负责人被指控涉谍，在德国战后历史上极为罕见。案件的后续侦查将围绕文件来源、资金往来与境外联系展开；由于检方尚未公布被指分享的材料性质，外界对涉案范围的判断仍须等待司法程序推进。汉宁依法享有无罪推定。
Arrested Former German Spy Chief Had Longstanding Contacts With Chinese General, Spiegel Reports; Lawyer Denies Wrongdoing
On October 9, 2026, Reuters reported, citing Spiegel magazine, that August Hanning, Germany's former spy chief arrested on suspicion of espionage, had longstanding contacts with a former senior Chinese general. Spiegel said Hanning, who left the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) in 2005, had travelled to China several times, where he knew a former major general, Wang Jianzheng, who had served in China's embassy in formerly communist East Germany, was an established expert on German issues and had translated a number of German books into Chinese.
Hanning was detained earlier that week on suspicion of sharing information from confidential documents provided by his former chief of staff with foreign intelligence agents. The alleged activities took place after his retirement, when he worked as an independent security consultant. Prosecutors have not commented on what material they believe may have been shared, or with whom. Hanning's lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but in a statement to Spiegel denied his client had damaged German interests and said he was being wrongfully prosecuted.
Hanning led the BND from 1998 to 2005 and then served as a state secretary in the Federal Interior Ministry from 2005 to 2009. Reuters photo captions dated the arrest to October 6, on suspicion of attempted treason and obtaining state secrets, with his former chief of staff also under investigation. The BND's headquarters are in Berlin.
The case has shaken Germany's political and security establishment: an espionage accusation against a former intelligence chief is exceedingly rare in postwar Germany. Investigators are expected to focus on the provenance of documents, payments and foreign contacts, and with prosecutors yet to specify what material may have been shared, the scope of the case awaits the judicial process. Hanning is presumed innocent.
