Case dropped against soldier-author

The Danish military has decided to drop a case against a soldier who wrote a book the military tried to stop.

The Judge Advocate has decided not to prosecute Thomas Rathsack, a Danish commando who wrote a controversial book that the military attempted to prevent being published.

Rathsack tells politiken.dk that he was contacted this morning by the Judge Advocate's office to tell him that he is not to be prosecuted.

“But I cannot say any more, among other reasons because I don't know what else is involved in the auditor's decision – for example whether there could be other consequences for me,” Rathsack says.

The auditor charged Rathsack last year under criminal and military law for allegedly having communicated information encompassed under laws preventing the dissemination of military secrets.

People's Press, who published Rathsack's book 'Jæger i krig med eliten' [Ranger at war with the elite] says the decision not to prosecute Rathsack is gratifying.
