Swedish Security Police Arrest Two Russian Nationals In Absentia

At approximately 0400 EST, the Swedish Security Service announced that two Russian nationals had been arrested in absentia in Stockholm. The two persons were reportedly married and lived in Stockholm for ten years and in Sweden for more than twenty years. The couple migrated from Russian in the early 2000s and were described as a quiet couple by neighbors. The man was reportedly collecting information for the Russian Federation and a third party nation that operates an embassy in Sweden, according to Swedish media reporting who had access to the court documents. He reportedly worked in the import/export business and used his wife as an accomplice. The couple together led a lucrative business which afforded them a profit of around 30 million Swedish Krona a year or about two million USD  a year.
