The accused testified for more than eight hours, with the proceedings beginning early this morning (February 10). Authorities focused on the contacts he allegedly maintained, as well as his handling of sensitive military information.

The squadron leader claimed that the initial approach was made via LinkedIn, when—according to his account—unknown individuals located his profile and contacted him. He alleged that the contact was not made directly by China, but by a company based in Malaysia, which presented itself as a private provider of consulting services to Asian countries, including China.

He reportedly claimed to have been deceived and spoke of unbearable pressure he faced, especially after a trip to China, to provide documents and information. According to the same sources, he admitted his responsibility and requested conviction, appearing visibly relieved.

The investigation by authorities continues to determine the extent of the information that may have been transmitted and the exact circumstances of the case.
