The timeline of this is very strange:
- in august he had been put on administrative leave
- he was imprisoned on the 9th of december
- on the 13th of december an independant commission set up by parliament (consisting of three judges) exponerated everyone implicated in this case
- on the 14th of december, the minister of defence welcomed him back to work
- today, 10th of january the public learned for the first time that he was imprisoned and still is imprisoned.
So even though he was exonerated by the independent commitee AND welcomed back by the minister, he is actually in prison. Very strange situation, makes we wonder if there are aspects of the case the public does not know about, or if someone has made an enormous error.
- lotsofpulp 5y ago> experated I assume this is a typo for exonerated?
- pfortuny 5y agoThat means to irritate but guess he meant exonerated.
- topper-123 5y agoYes, corrected.
- willhslade 5y agoAh, yes, exponerated.
- speed_spread 5y agoInnocence, squared.
- SiempreViernes 5y agoThe charges are about leaking to the media, not for breaking the law when spying on Danes, the latter being what the commission was set up to investigate.
- vintermann 5y agoSo they exonerated everyone for the spying, and punished the guy who revealed the spying?
- nerdponx 5y agoSeems reasonable from an "evil authoritarian" perspective. Make a show of trying people for spying (but don't actually convict anyone!) for the public, and then really punish the person who blew the cover on the operation.
- dannyw 5y agoYes.
- SiempreViernes 5y agoI guess the conclusion they only did legal spying, and that any errors where accidental and not systematic breaches of the law so it was ok? Don't know what the commission concluded (most details are probably secret anyway).
- tgv 5y agoThe earlier case was about handling data of Danish citizens, according to the Dutch news agency, which had been denounced by the oversight authority.
