That is one of the reasons I hope he gets a fair trial to clear his name.
Well, so you certainly hope that those who spied e.g. on German, Austrian, French persons, firms, institutions will get a fair trial as well.
And they can use "your defence strategy", too. Wjich might work or not.
But the only reason, why there could be a trial, is that there are laws ... about and against espionage, not against and about skiing.
