A 46-year-old Irish civil servant, Yevgen McKeeffe, has been denied bail by the High Court following his arrest on suspicion of leaking information to a foreign power deemed “hostile.” McKeeffe was apprehended at Dublin Airport on May 28th while attempting to depart the country with €5,650 in cash and a one-way ticket. Authorities allege he was involved in espionage. The details of the leaked information and the identity of the hostile state have not been publicly disclosed. The court refused bail due to concerns about flight risk and the seriousness of the charges. McKeeffe’s legal team argued against the severity of the accusations and requested his release, but the judge ruled in favor of continued detention pending further investigation. The case is ongoing, and further court dates are expected.
