The former head of Denmark’s military intelligence service, Lars Findsen, is suspected of having leaked secret information during his leadership. He was arrested in December but released from custody in February following a court decision.
Confidentiality prevails over the suspicions against him and three other people, including a former Minister of Defense, and the criminal investigation has continued even after Findsen was released from custody.
On Sunday, Berlingske published information about what Findsen is suspected of. According to the newspaper, the former spy chief has talked to journalists, family members and a colleague about state secrets. Referring to extensive journalistic work, Berlingske claims that Findsen has revealed secrets to her mother, her brother and a close friend.
In addition, the newspaper’s investigations show that Findsen has been intercepted for several months.
Findsen himself denies the accusations and has previously dismissed the investigation against him as “complete insanity”.
Berlingske’s information has not been commented on from an official Danish side.
