DXer arrested on espionage (update)
-----------------------------------
According to Baldur,DJ6SI, himself, he was not accused of espionage.
He was accused of
1) making radio communications without the consent of the Greek authorities
2) operating a transceiver which can receive also non-HAM frequencies.
Later they added a point this he was not willing to hand over his laptop
for the contents to be checked. In the hearing of June 8 they only kept the
charge up of destroying his notebook for the purpose of destruction of
evidence. This point is judged later.
