The NATO intern arrested last month by Belgian authorities on espionage charges has a work history with the Canadian government that is more extensive than previously reported, according to employment records she filed in court.
Biwei Zhang, a 33-year-old who has also used her English name, Claire Zhang, was charged with espionage while working for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the city of Mons. The Globe and Mail has previously reported that a source said the overseas posting was sponsored by Global Affairs Canada, and that the department was responsible for her security check.
