Swedish ex-security advisor Landerholm convicted on appeal for secret-assignment negligence

Svea Court of Appeal reversed Henrik Landerholm's acquittal, convicting the former national security advisor of negligence with a secret assignment and fining him. The case, which originated from mishandling classified documents, marks a rare appellate reversal in a sensitive national-security matter. The conviction underscores judicial scrutiny of senior officials' handling of state secrets, though the fine suggests limited severity.
