Summary
Former British soldier Daniel Khalife, 23, was convicted in London of espionage and terrorism for spying for Iran.
Prosecutors said Khalife gathered and shared classified military information, potentially endangering lives and national security, while claiming to be a “double agent” against the Iranian regime.
Khalife’s September 2023 escape from prison triggered a high-profile manhunt before his recapture.
Found guilty under the Official Secrets Act and Terrorism Act, Khalife denied wrongdoing, portraying himself as a patriot. He was acquitted of a separate bomb hoax charge.
He’s gonna be popular in prison.
