It was on Tuesday that the couple was arrested and detained in the Stockholm area after an operation by Säpo. The pair are both suspected of gross unauthorized occupation. According to a source for TV4 Nyheterna, the case is likely to grow.
Now the detainees are requested on probable cause, the higher level of suspicion.
– Now it remains to be seen what the court has to say, says TV4 Nyheternas reporter Jessica Josefsson.
The focus can be on the woman
The man has held several key positions within the Armed Forces both in Sweden and abroad, according to information given to TV4 Nyheterna which The Express was the first to tell about. Periodically, he has worked in connection with the military intelligence service Must. Today he works in another authority.
The woman also has a sensitive position at an authority. According to information given to TV4 Nyheterna, she is employed at the Defense Radio Agency, FRA, which, among other things, deals with sensitive signals intelligence and information security work.
– The focus can shift more in the woman’s direction because she has a job at FRA, where a lot of secret information is handled. In my assessment to a greater extent than the man’s position, says Jessica Josefsson.
The detention hearings take place today at 1pm and 3pm in the Stockholm district court.
