BREAKING: 🇩🇰 Two young men, aged 18 and 21, have been arrested in Denmark on suspicion of espionage for Russian intelligence services, in a case involving a Danish defence technology company that supplies anti-drone equipment to Ukraine and NATO forces. North Jutland Police, working alongside Denmark’s Security and Intelligence Service (PET), are investigating the case involving MyDefence, a company headquartered on Hjørringvej in Nørresundby. According to prosecutors, the two accused allegedly photographed the company on October 19, together with several as-yet-unidentified individuals. The images were subsequently sent to a user on the messaging service Telegram. The prosecution believes the photographs were intended for a Russian intelligence service. Danish broadcaster DR, which is also covering the court proceedings, reports that a third person is said to remain at large. The suspects are charged under Section 108(1) of the Danish Penal Code, which concerns unlawful intelligence activities on behalf of a foreign power. MyDefence develops and supplies anti-drone solutions to military and security forces worldwide, including the US Army, the Australian Army, Ukraine and NATO forces. Both men appeared before the Court in Aalborg and pleaded not guilty. The hearing is being held behind closed doors as the investigation continues.
