CPS: 'This was a classic story of betrayal'

This was a classic story of betrayal.

Edward Devenney was employed by the Royal Navy to protect this country from potential threats to our security.

Instead, he pursued a course of conduct likely to put his country at risk.

We rely on the men and women of our armed forces to keep us safe. It is hard to imagine a greater breach of that role than Devenney's actions.
