Khalife was paid £1,500 for his services, which he collected in August 2019 in a dog poo bag.While being held at HMP Wandsworth for his crimes, Khalife used bed sheets to strap himself to the underside of a food delivery truck.

He told a contact saved as David Smith: "I need to go to your supervisor and ask what specific regiment or sector you're interested in." He denied gathering, publishing or communicating information that might be useful to an enemy, namely Iranian intelligence, contrary to the Official Secrets Act between May 1 2019 and January 6 2022.
