In China, a scandal broke out related to the leak of classified data.
In China, a retired man named Zhang, who is fond of collecting books, made an unexpected find. At one of the waste paper collection points, he bought four books that, as it turned out, contained secret military documents.
Upon arriving home, the collector found that instead of the usual books, he had purchased secret documents with confidential military information – they had the corresponding stamps "Confidential" and "Secret".
After suspecting something was amiss, Zhang immediately contacted the local office of the Ministry of State Security and handed over the incriminating materials to the relevant authorities. Soon, employees arrived at the place indicated by the pensioner and seized all secret documents, as well as interrogated the person responsible for receiving scrap materials.
During the investigation, it turned out that two servicemen, Guo and Li, who had access to confidential information, were involved in the leak of secret documents.
The motive for their action was banal laziness. Instead of properly destroying the confidential documents in accordance with the regulations, Guo and Li decided to simply hand them over to the raw material collection point for processing.
The total weight of the secret materials sold (about 200 documents) exceeded 30 kilograms. The salvage workers purchased such a valuable cargo at a bargain price of 0.8 yuan per kilogram, so Guo and Li's revenue was a measly 20 yuan and a little more (about $ 2.75).
Fortunately, pensioner Zhang's vigilance helped prevent serious consequences. Employees of the Ministry of State Security stopped the distribution of secret documents and applied appropriate measures to the perpetrators.
