A senior official for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was convicted of spying for China last week.

Tarmo Kõuts, an Estonian military defense scientist with top security clearance, had been spying for China since 2018, according to Estonian prosecutors.

Brietbart news reports: The scientist was sentenced last week to serve three years in prison after been arrested by the Internal Security Service in September.

According to the report, intelligence services for the Baltic countries allegedly have been warned of the growing Chinese threat for years, but Kõuts’ conviction would be the first of its kind. He was tried in the Tallinn-based Harju County Court.

A Baltic Offical allegedly told Business Insider:

Russian intelligence activity obviously takes the highest priority in our neighborhood but the amount of resources required to monitor China increases for us each year. Our natural experience is more with the Russians but we have been warning about China for well over a year.

The deputy director of Kaitsepolitsei (KAPO) and Tallinn’s top counterintelligence official, Aleksander Toots, spoke to the Beast about Kõuts:

Kõuts was recruited in 2018 by China’s Intelligence Bureau of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission—as Beijing’s military intelligence agency is known—along with an alleged accomplice who is yet to be tried in court. Both were arrested on September 9, 2020, with no publicity or discussion of the case in the Estonian media.

……

Kõuts was recruited on Chinese territory, said Toots, who spoke exclusively with The Daily Beast and Estonia’s Delfi newspaper: “He was motivated by traditional human weaknesses, such as money and need of recognition.”

Toots added that Kõuts received cash payments from his Chinese handlers as well as paid trips to various Asian countries, with luxury accommodations and dinners at Michelin star restaurants. The intelligence operatives handling him were operating under cover of a think tank. Inna Ombler, the prosecutor handling the case confirmed that Kõuts earned €17,000 — a little over $20,000 — for his espionage, which the Estonian government has since seized from him.

Toots also said the reason the Chinese went after Kõuts was due to the security clearances he held. This is why “we decided to put a stop to his collaboration [with the Chinese] so early,” Toots said.

The scientist pleaded guilty to “conducting intelligence activities against the Republic of Estonia on behalf of a foreign state,” said the report.

  1. Well spies aren’t much use as cleaners scrubbing toilets Only the best will di .What’s new ? But be honest America and England has thousands of spies swarming all over China and even more double agents

  2. While the US and Europe have a freemasonry problem, China has the triads, their form of the babylon mystery religion in Asia. Like freemasonry and the mafia, the same Luciferian global illuminati oversee the triads the same as the freemasons or jesuits. The beast has many heads, but the goal for world government and the worship of the light bearer Lucifer reigns common, its only the names they call him that differ example: Grand Architect, Hiram Abiff, Apollyon, Zeus, Quetalacoatl, etc. The names get mixed up with Nimrod in Babylon alot, as Nimrod built the tower of babel and the post flood mystery religion began with him at Babel. Masons themselves identified Nimrod as the founder of freemasonry. Many identify Nimrod as the seed of Satan, the apollo (sun god) or hercules begotton of Zeus (Satan).

    • “Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!”
