Today Danish authorities announced that Lars Findsen, head of the nation's military intelligence agency FE is one of four members of the military intelligence community that was secretly arrested in early December on charges of leaking classified information.
Authorities remain highly secretive about the charges and it is not known to the public what information had allegedly been leaked or who received the information. The FE agency is tasked with espionage against foreign powers deemed hostile to Denmark and with intelligence gathering in warzones where Danish troops are deployed.
The arrest of the nation's spymaster is highly embarrassing to the regime who fears the leaks will damage foreign partners' trust in the nation's spot services.
Findsen denies all allegations as absurd. He was suspended from his post in 2020 following revelations that he had authorized his agency to do illegal espionage against Danish citizens.
I love living in a based social democracy where our intelligence services for sure didn't share access to our undersea cables so the US can listen in on our citizens and allies and politicians. It's great being a totally independent free state where our Prime Minister definitely didn't help Bush and co. in lying about WMD's, then getting rewarded with getting to be Chief of NATO right after. Super cool and good that our collaborationist government under the Nazis delivered names of hundreds of Danish communists to the SS.
