Who leaked the documents classified as “Top Secret”?
The US Department of Justice launched an investigation on Saturday to try to identify the source of the leak of secret documents linked in particular to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which was published on social networks this week. According to initial findings, these leaks are not just reports and documents on the conflict in Ukraine, but also very sensitive analyzes of the allies.
“We have communicated with the Defense Ministry about this and are investigating,” a ministry spokesman told AFP. Dozens of secret documents have been leaked to Twitter, Telegram, Discord, and other social networks over the past few days, and new documents continue to surface. The Pentagon also said Friday it was investigating the matter.
