Danish prosecutors will indict an opposition lawmaker and former defense minister for leaking classified information to the media once his parliamentary immunity has been lifted.
The Director of Public Prosecutions will move ahead with the case against Claus Hjort Frederiksen, who’s now a member of the Danish parliament, if the assembly agrees to remove his immunity, according to a statement published on Thursday by the ministry of justice.
