This undated photo issued by the Metropolitan Police on Feb. 14, 2023, shows David Ballantyne Smith, during his meeting with a undercover security service member. A former security guard at the British Embassy in Berlin was sentenced Friday to more than 13 years in prison for putting U.K. diplomats at "maximum risk" by selling secret information to Russia.
"He was paid for his treachery, and he was motivated by his antipathy towards this country and intended to damage this country's interests by acting as he did," Wall said. Smith, 58, gave the Russian Embassy in Germany's capital information about the activities, identities, addresses and phone numbers of British officials, prosecutors said. Smith also collected intelligence on the operation and layout of the British Embassy, which prosecutors said would be useful to "an enemy, namely the Russian state."
