A Swedish court on Monday released a Russia-born Swedish citizen charged with collecting information for Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU, for almost a decade.
Sergey Skvortsov, 60, is accused of “gross illegal intelligence activities against Sweden and against a foreign power,” namely the United States.
He was arrested in November together with his wife in a predawn operation in Nacka, outside Stockholm. Swedish media reported that elite police rappelled from two Black Hawk helicopters to arrest the couple.
