Swedish police arrests potential russian spy?

in #politic6 years ago

These are interesting times now and a lot of happening. This is just a short timestamp....

On Tuesday (26/2 - 2019) Swedish Security Police (SÄPO, Säkerhetspolisen) arrested a potential spy in a meeting with a Russian intelligence officer at a restaurant i Stockholm. The Russian intelligence officer showed diplomatic immunity and could not be arrested and left the country the next day. More about the story here (page in swedish):

There was also another arrest of a potential refugee espionage.

Is there an increase in espionage activity in the region or are the two arrests a a coincidence? The two incidents are probably not related but who knows.
