AUTHORITIES IN SWEDEN HAVE charged two brothers, one of whom worked in a highly secretive Swedish intelligence unit, with spying for Russian military intelligence for a decade, according to news reports.
The charges resulted from a six-year
investigation led by the Swedish Security Service (SAPO), which is the
country’s counterintelligence agency. SAPO reportedly launched the probe
in 2017, based on suspicions that it harbored a spy in its personnel
ranks.
The two brothers have been named
by Swedish media as Payam Kia, 35, and Peyman Kia, 42. They were
reportedly born in Iran and became Swedish citizens in 1994. It is also
reported that Payam Kia worked for SAPO and had access to classified
information from a host of Swedish government agencies. SAPO accuses the
two men of having worked “jointly” to pass information to the Main
Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff, known broadly as
GRU.
According
to Swedish authorities, the two men began spying for Russia in
September of 2011 and continued until the fall of 2021. Peyman Kia
allegedly acted as a courier, passing information and payments between
his brother and his Russian handlers. Per Lindqvist, chief prosecutor
for Sweden’s National Security Unit, told the Associated Press news
agency that the Kia brothers case involved “extremely sensitive topics”,
but did not elaborate. Some reports claim that Payam Kia had access to
the files of Swedish spies operating abroad.
The younger of the two brothers was
reportedly arrested in September of 2021. His older brother was arrested
in November of the same year. They face up to life imprisonment. They
both deny the charges against them.
