Roque M. in court in Düsseldorf. The 52-year-old suspect, named as Roque M., made headlines when he was arrested last November in what initially appeared to be a case of an Islamist mole at work in Germany's domestic spy agency. He even went so far as to arrange a meeting with a suspected Islamist at a gym, although Roque M. insisted he never had any intention of going. In one of his online chats, he offered to help alleged Islamists gain access to his employer's office in Cologne. But as no evidence emerged of an actual Islamist plot, prosecutors left Roque M. facing the sole charge of attempting to share state secrets.
