This is stated by the National Security Authority in a press release.  The suspected offenses must have gone on for ten years, until as late as last autumn.  &#8211; We claim that these two persons fell into the hands of the GRU, the Russian military intelligence service, says prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist to SVT.  Handled sensitive material Swedish DN reports that one of these worked in Sweden&#8217;s most secret intelligence organisation.  The eldest brother is said to have worked in both S\u00e4po and the Swedish Armed Forces&#8217; intelligence and security service (Must).  According to Aftonbladet, the eldest of the brothers must have handled highly sensitive material on his private computer.  When he was arrested, the youngest of the brothers allegedly smashed a hard drive and threw it in a bin in the Uppsala area.  Have been in custody for a year In the press release it appears that the one man is also charged with grossly unrelated matters with secret information.  Much of the information in the preliminary investigation is secret, and the prosecution in Sweden will therefore have limited opportunities to talk about the content of the investigation.  &#8211; It has been a complex investigation into a very difficult crime and the suspicion concerns very serious crime directed against Sweden&#8217;s intelligence and security system.  The offense is serious because it concerns matters of great importance, says state attorney Per Lindqvist.  &#8211; By reaching a foreign power, the information that has been collected, forwarded and handed over without authorization can be detrimental to Sweden&#8217;s security, he adds.  The men who are now accused have been in custody since September and November 2021 respectively. SVT writes that the brothers are in their 30s and 40s.  They were born in Iran, but grew up in Uppsala in Sweden.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/norge\/bror-tiltalt-for-grov-spionasje-i-sverige-1.16175801\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two brothers have been charged with aggravated espionage against Sweden on behalf of Russia and the Russian military intelligence service, GRU.
