Sweden’s Security Police (Säpo) has disrupted an ongoing Russian intelligence operation and exposed a covert agent working at a foreign embassy in Stockholm. According to Säpo’s Deputy Operational Chief, Christoffer Wedelin, the operation aimed to gather information from key Swedish political figures. The intelligence gathering effort involved a secret meeting between a Russian intelligence officer and the agent, which took place at a pub in Sweden. Säpo intervened to halt the operation, preventing further compromise of sensitive political decision-making processes. The disclosure highlights concerns about continued foreign intelligence activities within Sweden. This case underscores the vigilance required to safeguard national security and protect political integrity. Further details regarding the agent’s identity and the extent of the information compromised have not yet been released.
