French intelligence officer caught selling confidential data on the dark web
I have published this link because I was chocked when I encountered this news. This does not match with my understanding of police. In such services as DGSI, I would expect to see many smart people who have a true vocation for the service and some ambitious politicians who try to climb the hierarchy (not exclusive). Of course, there are some depressive, desperate, alcoolic or crazy people. Maybe there are spies paid by foreign countries, but I would not expect to see greedy treators. Maybe, I have a crazy theory. What if this guy was selling this data to try to catch big fishes ? What if this guy did this in secret because his boss is a risk averse politician ? A person frustrated by the inertia or other ineffectivity of the service and experiencing other difficulties in their life may fall into this madness. I think they have regular psychological assessment because this job is very hard.<p>I am just an imaginative layman. My source of knowledge about police is my father (RIP) who was a police officer. He had friends who worked in dgsi.
