A high-ranking official at the Swedish embassy in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, has been suspended for leaking sensitive information to an outside party, reports SVT Nyheter, which learns that it is about information relating to Sweden’s relationship with another state.
According to the aid agency Sida’s internal investigation, prompted by suspicions of corruption, the official has not committed any crime and may retain his position, although stationed in Stockholm until further notice.
Another suspected case of corruption at the embassy is still under investigation. The person in question has already terminated their employment.
