From BBC News.

Daniel Khalife has been sentenced to 14 years and three months in prison after spying for Iran and escaping from HMP Wandsworth, in London.

The judge sentencing Khalife said the ex-soldier "took payment on two occasions and travelled to meet intelligence officers from Iran in Turkey".

Khalife, who fled Wandsworth Prison in September 2023, was caught days later and later found guilty of breaching the Official Secrets Act and the Terrorism Act in November.

He was found to have passed information to Iranian agents for cash, and told handlers he would stay in the military for more than 25 years for them.
