Norway police hold Chinese woman in custody over suspected espionage

OSLO, May 8 (Reuters) - A Chinese woman suspected of complicity in espionage in Norway will be held in police custody for up to four weeks while the case against her is ⁠investigated, a Norwegian court ruled on Friday. The woman, one of several suspects in the case, was apprehended this week on suspicion of complicity in attempts to illegally download ⁠satellite data, Norwegian police have said. Reuters was not immediately able to reach her lawyer. If ⁠charges are eventually filed, the woman risks being sentenced to prison ⁠for up to 10 years if found guilty ⁠under section 122 of Norway's penal code.
