Two Men Indicted for gross Espionage
A major part of the information in the indictment is confidential. The prosecutors will therefore have limited possibilities to comment on the investigation.
“It has been a complex investigation concerning a crime that is very difficult to investigate and the suspicion concerns very serious criminality directed against Sweden's intelligence and security system. The offense is serious as it concerns circumstances of major importance. The information that has been obtained, transmitted and divulged could, by the fact that if it comes into the hands of a foreign power, result in detriment to Sweden’s security”, says chief public prosecutor Per Lindqvist.
The indicted men have been detained since September and November 2021 respectively.
