Anton K was posted to Kosovo to set up a network of informants. He appointed a local man as an interpreter and the pair soon became lovers, to the eventual suprise of Anton K's wife and children back home in Germany. The interpreter gained security clearance but it is alleged by the German secret service that the spy was indiscreet with classified information and that the interpreter passed on details to either foreign intelligence agencies or organised crime bosses.
The pair now live in Stuttgart where they deny the charges which they say are trumped up as part of a homophobic witch-hunt.
