The radio station of the Swedish Armed Forces, FRA, currently has the opportunity to intercept two people if at least one of them is abroad. Now the moderates want to expand the possibility of wiretapping to apply even if both people are in Sweden, Ekot reports.

– Today we have a situation where a person who is planning a terrorist attack or conducting intelligence activities enters Sweden and then the FRA must immediately end its recognition of signals, says the moderate Pål Jonsson, chairman of the Riksdag defense committee for Ekot.

According to Pål Jansson, the foreign policy situation has deteriorated and the terrorist threat has increased, thus mainly pressing the possibility of continuing to spy on spies or terrorists who are first abroad and travel to Sweden. But it is also open for recognition to begin, even when both parties are first in Sweden.

– Of course, the approach remains that it should focus on threats to national security. So I can affirm that there are several measures to guarantee personal privacy, he says, adding that it may also be relevant to review the need to strengthen privacy protection.

– It is very possible that it is necessary to do so and that is why I believe that it should be an important component in an investigation on the law of recognition of signals.
