"Landesverrat" is the core paragraph around the espionage complex. It criminalizes (among other things) passing secret information to foreign powers.
As usual when comparing different legal systems it gets muddy. I guess what you're having in mind is more like "Hochverrat" (high treason).
An aside: what are the connotations of "treason" and "treachery" in English? Is treason the criminal act against your country and "treachery" more personal, betraying a friend?
