00:00Germany's former foreign intelligence chief has been arrested on suspicion of espionage and treason.
00:06Federal prosecutors say August Hanning and a former aide made a deal in 2010
00:11for the aide to supply intelligence in exchange for payment.
00:15They allege the aide passed on around 2,000 documents over the years,
00:20many containing classified information.
00:24Prosecutors say Hanning used that material for private consulting,
00:27including an analysis intended for a foreign intelligence officer.
00:32They haven't named the country involved and say it's unclear whether that analysis reached its intended recipient.
00:41The investigation grew out of a search of Hanning's home in a separate child abduction case.
