Suspended DSN Officer is "Confessing to the Facts"

After questioning the officer from the Directorate of State Protection and Intelligence Service (DSN), the public prosecutor's office did not file any applications for pre-trial detention, Vecsey announced on Friday afternoon in response to an APA inquiry: "There are no grounds for detention." There is no danger of further crimes being committed, and the risk of flight is also ruled out, Vecsey said. The accused DSN officer thus remains at large for the time being.

DSN Officer Allegedly Made Queries on the Muslim Brotherhood

The police officer, who had been assigned to the DSN for some time, was suspended from duty last Tuesday after it became known that he had contact "with a group under observation" - as the Ministry of the Interior put it. He is said to have made queries on the Muslim Brotherhood on several days in recent months without any official connection - whether the results also ended up with the Muslim Brotherhood is the subject of ongoing investigations. As the DSN and the Ministry of the Interior assure, the officer never had access to intelligence information and sensitive data. The DSN became aware of the reported incidents to the public prosecutor's office after noticing irregularities with the police officer. The internal control mechanisms had worked, it was said. The queries had "only reached an initial stage".
