Swedish Diplomat Arrested on Suspicion of Espionage

Sweden's security service (Säpo) said yesterday it had arrested a person, identified in media reports as a high-ranking diplomat who had been stationed at embassies around the world, on suspicion of spying.

According to the Swedish national broadcaster, SVT, Säpo is investigating whether there is a connection between the diplomat and the resignation of Tobias Thyberg, a former ambassador to Ukraine. Thyberg was forced to quit as national security adviser on Thursday hours after being appointed when intimate photos of him from the dating app Grindr were sent to the government.
