What does Ericsson have to steal? Their Base Stations are terrible, their Phones fall
apart and their Software always has glitches.

Please don't say Bluegoof......

Maybe they are stealing some EWACS designs left over from the 2-way days! They would do
Ericsson a favour buy stealing that.

Swedish court releases two Ericsson spy suspects

Thu Dec 5, 6:59 AM ET

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -

A Swedish court on Thursday released two suspects in an espionage investigation involving wireless equipment maker LM Ericsson (news - web sites), but ordered the main suspect kept in jail.

The Stockholm district court said all three remained suspects in the investigation, which has focused on secret company information being passed to a foreign intelligence agent.

The former and current Ericsson employees were arrested last month.

The court said the main suspect, who hasn't been identified, must remain in jail for another two weeks while a prosecutor decides whether to file espionage charges.

Alireza Bejarkenari Rafiei and another unidentified suspect were released because the court found it unlikely that they would interfere with the investigation. The court said they cannot leave the Stockholm area and must periodically report to police until the investigation is completed.

Ericsson also has suspended two other workers, saying they were accused of providing information to the espionage suspects. The suspended employees are not facing criminal charges.

All five people worked in development units and did not hold high-ranking positions, according to Ericsson. The espionage didn't cause any major damage, the company said.

Two Russian diplomats were expelled from Sweden in connection with the case. Russia ousted two Swedish diplomats on Monday in an apparent retaliation.

Stockholm-based Ericsson which has about 70,000 employees and operations in more than 140 countries, also develops and makes radar systems for defense programs worldwide, including systems for the JAS-39 Gripen fighter planes made by Sweden's Saab and Britain's BAE Systems.
