A trial opened in Sweden for two Iranian-born Swedish brothers charged with spying for Russia and its military intelligence service GRU for a decade.
“The material is the absolute most secret material available,” prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist told court. “It is an unusual trial in that a similar case has not appeared in Sweden in over 20 years.”
Peyman Kia was arrested in September 2021 and his brother in November 2021. Both denied any wrongdoing, their defense lawyers told the court.
