This is clear from the forensic psychiatric report submitted to Stockholm District Court. The report means that the man will likely be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care if he is convicted.

The 34-year-old was previously employed as an IT consultant with the Armed Forces between 2018 and 2022. In that role, he had access to "information with very high protection value" that he tried to disclose to Russia in the autumn of 2025, according to the indictment.

The man is also being held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, a crime that is said to have been committed in December last year. According to the prosecutor, the target was a person in Sweden, and the murder was said to have been partly planned in Moscow. The investigation into that part continues.
