(BBC) A former British soldier accused of escaping from Wandsworth prison last year made contact with Iranian security forces before telling MI6 he wanted to work as a double agent, a trial has heard.
Daniel Khalife, 23, has gone on trial on charges of collecting sensitive military information for Iran.
Woolwich Crown Court heard Mr Khalife obtained details about serving members of the armed forces from a personnel system.
He denies all the charges.
The prosecution told the court that Iran presented a real threat to the security of the UK.
