COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Danish prosecution dismissed Wednesday two separate cases against a former defense minister and an ex-head of the country´s foreign intelligence service due to the inability to divulge classified information in court. Both were charged with leaking state secrets.
Former defense minister Claus Hjort Frederiksen, 76, had in several interviews in 2020 and 2021, alleged that the Danish Defense Intelligence Service – which is responsible for overseas activities – had helped the NSA eavesdrop on leaders in Germany, France, Sweden and Norway, including former German chancellor Angela Merkel.
Then-Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg called it “unacceptable” and said that spying on others “creates more mistrust than it creates collaboration.”
