The man, who has not been named, was officially listed as an second secretary at the Russian embassy.
German security services believe that a man found dead in a street outside the Russian embassy in Berlin last month was an undercover agent of Russia's FSB intelligence service, Der Spiegel reported on Friday.
The 35-year-old man's body was found early on October 19, the magazine said. It said, citing security sources, that the man had fallen from an upper floor at the embassy.
Berlin police declined to comment and directed all questions to public prosecutors, who were not immediately available for comment. The discovery of a body outside the Russian diplomatic mission has not been reported previously.
Security sources told the magazine it was unclear how the diplomat had fallen and what had caused his death. The Russian embassy had not agreed to an autopsy, Der Spiegel said.
