Canadian intern arrested at NATO hub on spying charges

A Canadian woman of Chinese origin has been arrested for allegedly spying while working as an intern at NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers (Shape) Europe in Mons, Belgium. Belgian prosecutors stated she is suspected of spying for a third country and belonging to a criminal organization, with sources identifying China as the nation involved. NATO security services tipped off Belgian authorities, leading to a raid of the suspect's home and workplace within the headquarters. The woman, identified as Claire Z, worked in the IT department. Her pre-trial detention has been extended by one month, and she has appealed the decision, with a ruling expected within two weeks. Canada's Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree indicated that the country would review its security screening processes.
