secret information

Prosecutors allege Mr Khalife was paid by the Iranian intelligence service for secret information gathered when he was in the Army.

A former British solider accused of passing secret information to Iran gathered the names of service personnel, including those in special forces, a court has heard.

Sgt Schultz, who held a security clearance to access top secret information, conspired to collect data with someone whom he believed to be living in Hong Kong, according to court documents.

The court later heard he had been trying to get secret information from a friend - actually an FSB intelligence agent.

There are strict rules for the handling of top secret information across the military.
