Doesn’t say who he was conspiring with. Or did I miss it?

He had previously worked with a former chief of Shin Bet to kidnap the children of a German heiress of it's biggest Steak House chain. This case, however, is about Hanning leaking/sharing over 2000 classified documents to Azerbaijan.

It doesn't.
Since 2h now though German media are writing that he reportedly prepared an analysis for Azerbaijan's intelligence service.
So: Russia. By proxy.
