Sweden’s spy agency is wrapped up in a scandal that might make even James Bond blush.
News emerged this week that the agency called SAPO spent $800,000 on a Bond-themed party last year.
It was complete with casino tables, a big band and a gala dinner.
Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Oliver Gee, a reporter with Sweden’s English language website The Local, about the event.
