Biography
Daniel Abed Khalife (born 27 September 2001) is a former British Army network engineer and soldier. It is alleged that in January 2022 he left a fake explosive device on his desk, illegally accessed personal information about British soldiers, and shared that information and other classified documents with contacts in Iran. He was arrested on suspicion of breaching the Official Secrets Act and was bailed pending charges. In January 2023 he fled before being recaptured and held on remand. He was discharged from the army in May 2023. On 6 September 2023 Khalife escaped from HM Prison Wandsworth in London and attempted to reconnect with an Iranian contact. A nationwide police search and delays at major transport hubs followed. After three days as a fugitive he was captured by the Metropolitan Police near Northolt in Middlesex and was found guilty of spying for Iran in November 2024.
