Ex-Soldier Daniel Khalife on Trial for Alleged Espionage and Prison Escape

Khalife is accused of passing fabricated information to Iran and fleeing custody, but he denies all charges.

Daniel Khalife, a former British army soldier, is accused of espionage for Iran, including gathering sensitive information and perpetrating a bomb hoax.
Khalife allegedly escaped from Wandsworth Prison by strapping himself to a food delivery van, only to be recaptured three days later.
Prosecutors presented recordings where Khalife discussed potential training in Iran or Lebanon with Iranian contacts.
Khalife claimed to have provided Iranian intelligence with fabricated data from WikiLeaks to deter further contact.
He reportedly informed MI5 about his interactions with Iranian intelligence but expressed frustration over the lack of response.
