Authorities in Norway will not release the name of a man who was arrested on Saturday, reportedly after he met with a Russian intelligence officer in Oslo.
The arrest of the unnamed man, who is a
Norwegian citizen, was announced on Monday by the Norwegian Police
Security Service, Norway’s counterintelligence agency.
A prosecutor for the agency, Line Nyvoll
Nygaard, told reporters that the man was observed by counterintelligence
officers as he met with the alleged Russian intelligence officer at a
restaurant. Little information is known about him. He is said to be in
his 50s. According to Nygaard, he is believed to have “access to
information that would be of interest to foreign nations” through his
work.
The case is thought to be of
significance, given that Norway’s Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, was
notified about it over the weekend. According to reports
in the Norwegian media, the case is about industrial espionage. The man
is believed to be working, or to have worked, for DNV GL, a major
provider of technical advice and services for energy companies around
the world. The company is also a major force in the global shipping
industry as an accredited registrar, meaning that it is licensed to
classify and categorize ships.
According to Nygaard, the espionage case
is significant enough to pose “a major threat to the core national
interests of Norway”. The government will seek the maximum prison
penalty of 15 years, she said. The man is currently being detained and
will soon be facing a custody trial that is expected to take place in
secret.
