Portuguese Navy members face conviction for state secret violations
The Portuguese Public Ministry has requested the conviction of three Navy military members for violating state secrets. The case involves the disclosure of confidential information regarding the NRP Mondego.
According to the prosecution, the accused individuals shared restricted data concerning the ship's location, mission, and operational limitations with sergeant and private associations. This disclosure occurred after the military members refused to board the NRP Mondego in March 2023 for a mission to monitor a Russian vessel near the Madeira archipelago.
The prosecution emphasized the gravity of the leak, noting that the information was shared during the conflict in Ukraine and involved sensitive operational details. While the Public Ministry maintains there is sufficient evidence for conviction, it has left the determination of the specific penalty to the court in Lisbon.
