PARIS, July 25 (Reuters) – A Canadian woman of Chinese origin who was an intern at a NATO site in Belgium has been arrested on spying charges, the Belgium prosecutor said on Saturday.

“She is suspected of spying on behalf of a third country and of being a member of a criminal organisation,” the prosecutor said in a statement, which added that further details on this individual, including her name, would not be disclosed for now.

The prosecutor said the suspect was an intern at ‘SHAPE’, which is a NATO site in Mons in Belgium.
