An appeals court in Denmark on Thursday ordered the release of the country's former chief of foreign intelligence, who had been held in pre-trial custody on a preliminary charge of “disclosing highly classified information.”
The Court of Appeal of Eastern Denmark said in a statement that while there was “a well-founded suspicion” Lars Findsen had violated Danish law by disclosing intelligence information, it “didn’t find that the conditions for a pre-trial detention are met.”
