Man charged with spreading Swedish military secrets

Swedish prosecutors said on Thursday they had charged a 52-year-old man with illegally possessing and spreading secret and sensitive information about a large number of military installations.

"I consider this a gross crime as it concerns a large number of installations that are significant for Sweden's ability to defend itself in the case of war," senior prosecutor Lars Hedvall said in a statement.

"The information disclosure may hurt national security," he added.
