The man was arrested in the capital on Wednesday. He is a Norwegian citizen. – He accepts that there is suspicion of intelligence activities for foreign powers, but there is still a lot of law and fact-finding in this case. He has agreed to two weeks in custody, but PST has asked for four weeks, says the man’s defender John Christian Elden in an SMS to news. The man in his 20s is charged under section 122 of the Criminal Code, serious intelligence activities against state secrets. If you are convicted under this section, you can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. The man is also charged under section 126 of the Criminal Code, which applies to other illegal intelligence that may harm the interests of other states, says police attorney Thomas Blom in PST via senior advisor Eirik Veum. – The arrest took place without drama, and the suspect is being produced for remand in Oslo district court, Blom says to news via Veum.
