Russian-Swede On Trial Suspected Of Spying For Russia

Police secure the area at a house where Swedish security services arrested Sergei Skvortsov on suspicions of espionage, in the Stockholm area, on November 22, 2022.

A Russian-Swede arrested last year in a dramatic dawn raid on his quiet suburban home goes on trial in Stockholm on September 4 accused of passing Western technology to Russia's military. Sergei Skvortsov, a 60-year-old dual national, has lived in Sweden since the 1990s where he has run import-export companies. He is to appear in a Stockholm district court charged with carrying out "unlawful intelligence activities" against the United States and Sweden for a decade until his arrest in November 2022.
