Report: Employees of ARMA dev arrested on spying charges in Greece

Bohemia Interactive is currently unable to provide comment about two alleged employees arrested in Greece on suspicion of espionage. IN.gr reports two Czech citizens were found in possession of video and photos of military installations on the island of Lemnos, Greece.

The two men, aged 28 and 33, have been charged with espionage. The pair apparently told authorities they work for Bohemia Interactive and were collecting images for ARMA 3.

“We would like to apologize for not providing any statement, but we do not have any official and confirmed information at the moment,” Bohemia Interactive told us. “For more details please contact Czech Embassy in Greece or Czech ministry of foreign affairs.”

We’ve reached out to both entities for further comment. We’ll update as information becomes available.

Update: CVG spoke with a producer at Bohemia Interactive who confirmed the men’s employment, he also added the pair are being transferred to the district court, but have yet to be charged.Report: Employees of ARMA dev arrested on spying charges in Greece originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:15:00 EST.
