Some time ago an enterprizing guy of Iranian extraction was nicked for leaking stuff to Iran. The Official Secrets Act shutters came down a bit slowly.
Basically an Iranian guy with an unpronouncable name turned up in Brighton and taught Latin American dancing - he said he was Cuban and built up a nice little portfolio of two night clubs and some domestic rental properties.
He also changed his name to Jimmy P. (beats me what the P stands for)
For some inexplicable reason he joined the Territorial Army (sort of UK National Reserves) and ticked the boxes saying he spoke Pushtu and Farsi.
Naturally his name came up, and he found himself top translator for the UK top dog in Afghanistan - some General whose name escapes me.
Then he got nicked for leaking to the Iranians - who are sort of, our on/off allies when it comes to making South Afghanistanis lives prehistoric.
While this should belong in GQ, I suspect that the only answers belong in GD.
Does anyone know what happened - or even suppositions why his ‘leaks’ were so critical ?
