(Sky News) A former soldier could have endangered the life of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe by sending a fake intelligence document to Iran, a court has been told.
Daniel Khalife, 23, pleaded guilty to escaping from prison under a food catering truck and going on the run for four days while awaiting trial on Monday.
He is also accused of spending two years passing secrets to the Iranians while serving with the Royal Corps of Signals. He denies the charges, saying he only handed over fabricated documents in an attempt to become a double agent.
The former soldier is accused of sending a document to Iranian agents titled “Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe intelligence options” that he created in 2021, which said the British government was not willing to negotiate over her release.
