The echo has passed various preliminary investigation protocols from previous Säpo investigations, which concern individuals who have been convicted or suspected of having mapped secret military installations. And in those investigative documents, it turns out that there are other people’s names and hitherto unknown details about them.
After our review, we can now say that two more men are being investigated. The documents contain information that these men are believed to have played a central role in an Internet forum where interested persons discussed military installations.
Säpo researchers He has since investigated the suspicion that specially invited persons have been granted exclusive access to two secret chat rooms on the site, where large amounts of information about Swedish military installations must have been located.
– Yes, I can confirm that there are ongoing investigations against these people. But it’s a preliminary investigative secret that I must relate to, says chamber prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist.
In our review from the Säpo’s questioning of a former defendant, it can be deduced, for example, that they are active protected objects that must have ended up on the spot. This is what he says in questioning:
Interrogator: Hmm, if you’re only looking at this list here, is it historical?
Suspect: That does not seem to be something historical.
Interrogator: No. This is an active thing. Active protection objects. Then I scroll through here, so if I can put it this way, it’s a huge list.
Suspect: Yes, that is a terrible list.
That interested Gathering information about protected objects is serious business, says André Catry, a security expert with experience in the Security Police. But what Ekot’s review of Säpo’s investigations, which is suspected of having shared large amounts of information about defense facilities online, now shows reaches a new level of severity, he believes.
If it is of interest for any intelligence activity, they have the resources to be able to participate in this information.
– Yes, it’s serious. Even if it is a closed chat forum, you do not know who has access to it, because it is something that is available on the Internet. If it is of interest to any intelligence activity, they have the resources to access this information, regardless of whether they are authorized or not. So there are several different ways that they can access that information, says André Catry.
The two investigated The secret chat rooms on the forum are now being investigated at the National Security Targets Unit. District Attorney Mats Ljungqvist refers to the secrecy of the preliminary investigation, but says the investigation material, along with several other parallel cases, is extensive.
– Yes, it’s a huge job. The total material is very, very extensive. Automatically they will be difficult investigations, because there is a lot of material to verify and review. There are several authorities involved. So this is a big problem in general, says Mats Ljungqvist.
The echo has been in contact with one of the investigated and with the defense lawyer of the other. They cannot say anything about how they reacted to the suspicions, as there is a ban on opening in the investigation. But they confirm that they have been in several interrogations about the case.
