An Italian navy captain was found guilty on Thursday of selling secrets to Russia and sentenced by a military tribunal to 30 years in jail.
His lawyer has said Biot did not hand over any sensitive material and announced on Thursday he would appeal the verdict. The military prosecutor had sought a life term. A court last year detailed some of the allegations against Biot when it rejected his request to be freed pending the trial. Italian media said that among the documents were information about the war on Islamist militants in Libya and Syria.
