A security agent at the US Embassy has been charged with spying for Russia and Iran.
The 27-year-old Norwegian was accused of having supplied information on embassy activities between March 2024 and November 20, which was the date of his arrest.
He was also accused of supplying diplomatic private license plate numbers used by the embassy.
The man is further accused of having tried to hide some of the money he received, which came to more than 17,000 euros, by putting it into the bank accounts of other people in his circle.
In return, he was paid in euros and bitcoin.
The man has acknowledged what he did but rejected the charges laid against him, as stated by his lawyer, Inger Zadig.
According to AFP, if convicted, he could spend up to 20 years in prison.
