Khalife, 23, of Kingston, South West London, got six years each for two spying charges plus two years and three months for the jailbreak, to be served consecutively.

Ex-soldier Daniel Khalife was jailed for more than 14 years at the start of the month after he was found to have passed secrets to Iran.

A SPY who escaped jail by clinging to the underside of a food delivery truck will have his sentence reviewed for being too soft, The Sun can reveal.

An AGO Spokesperson said: “We have received a request for this sentence to be considered under the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme.
