STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- A Swedish court has remanded a 48-year-old man suspected of industrial espionage against Swedish space and defense company Saab AB.
Prosecutor Tomas Lindstrand is not immediately available for comment, but Swedish news agency TT says the suspect is being detained on suspicion of industrial espionage, unauthorized trade with secret information, and attempted extortion.
The Saturday proceedings have been held in a district court in Goteborg, Sweden's second largest city.
The Swedish national was arrested Thursday after months of joint investigation work between the Swedish Security Services, prosecutors and Saab.
The man is accused of having gained illegal access to documents regarding the operations of Saab's radar systems unit, Saab Microwave Systems.
