The military intelligence are allowed to do whatever it takes to defend against foreign powers, but they are not allowed to gather intelligence on Danish citizens. If they uncover something that involved danish citizens or internal threats in the course of their work they are supposed to hand it over to the police intelligence service. As I understand part of the scandal is that this has not happened, compounded by active measures to cover things up towards the oversight committee.
Here are the points I think are highlights:
> That FE has on several occasions since the Authority's establishment in 2014 and until the summer of 2020 - in connection with, among other things, the Authority's specific inspections and meetings with the head of FE - has withheld key and crucial information for the Authority and given the Authority incorrect information about the service's collection and disclosure.
> That there is an inappropriate culture of legality in FE's management and parts of the service, where the service's possible unjustified activities or inappropriate circumstances are shelved, including by failing to inform the supervisory authority of matters relevant to its control.
> The submitted material indicates that FE, prior to the establishment of the Authority in 2014, has initiated operational activities in violation of Danish law, including by obtaining and passing on a significant amount of information about Danish citizens.
> That FE has unjustifiably processed information about an employee in the supervision. (TET)
