Summary
A Dublin civil servant, Yevgen McKeeffe, has been denied bail after allegedly leaking classified government data to a foreign power, sparking national security concerns. Arrested at the airport with over €5,000 and a one-way ticket, McKeeffe—longtime Irish resident and government employee since 2016—faces up to ten years in prison for unlawful computer use. Evidence showed he used Telegram to send sensitive materials and received payments, with authorities seizing devices and documents. Despite a strong surety offer and clean record, the court cited high flight risk and reoffending potential, emphasizing the severity of the alleged breach in an era of digital vulnerability.
