Daniel Khalife is found GUILTY of spying for Iran
British solider Daniel Khalife, 23, who escaped from HMP Wandsworth by clinging to the bottom of a food truck has been found guilty of spying for Iran.
Jurors rejected Khalife's story that he had actually been undertaking a one-man 'double agent' mission after being told his Iranian heritage would stop him getting his dream role in British intelligence.
Even Khalife's own lawyer accepted the 'hapless' operation bore more resemblance to Scooby Doo than James Bond.
Wearing a blue shirt and pale trousers, Khalife calmly replaced his glasses as the verdicts were read out and did not show any emotion. He now faces decades behind bars.

How long do you think he’s looking at? Similar cases for espionage are 10 years. Under our new government he will only serve 40% right?

He was on remand when he escaped, so that's his full sentence. He won't serve all of it.
He wasn't serving a sentence when he escaped from Wandsworth, he was on remand so in fact the time he spent in Wandsworth will be deducted as credit for time served.

Security services are currently handling around 160 investigations linked to state threats, with the vast majority focused on suspected proxies operating inside the UK.
In some cases, individuals are believed to have been recruited without realising they were feeding information to foreign governments.'
'The breadth of activity is so significant,' he said, adding that it could extend 'right through to an assassination plot in the United Kingdom'.
'The warning comes as concerns grow in Westminster over espionage operations linked to China, Russia and Iran - described by Murphy as 'the big three' conducting proxy operations in Britain.'
