During the time of the espionage, Denmark was in the process of acquiring new combat aircraft. Saab’s Gripen participated in the negotiations, which could mean that US spies had access to incorrect information about the Gripen program. According to the complainant, the NSA has conducted direct searches of the Gripen.
– According to Danish law, a foreign intelligence service, of course, cannot spy on Denmark in such a way that you get information about military information or politically sensitive information, says Jørn Vestergaard, emeritus professor of criminal law at the University of Copenhagen in the Dominican Republic.
