Spying Allegations: The Recruiter of the Greek Air Force Officer Revealed

A Greek air force officer, currently in custody, is accused of spying for China. Reports indicate the officer was recruited by a man known as “Steven Wayne” through LinkedIn, who allegedly represents a consulting firm based in Malaysia. “Steven” and his superior, named “William,” met with the officer in China and Athens, providing him with codes for a crypto wallet to receive payments. The officer claims he was initially unaware of China's involvement and that requests for classified information escalated over time. He has apologized for his actions, expressing regret and taking full responsibility, while claiming his motive was future career prospects. The case has raised concerns about the security of military information and the potential for corruption.
