The suspect was arrested on Friday by the Nordland police district, Eirik Veum, PST’s media spokesman, told Agence France-Presse.
Veum said the man was suspected of “attempted illegal intelligence activities in Nordland”, but declined to provide further details on the nature of the activities.
On Sunday, a Norwegian court ordered that the suspect be remanded in custody for four weeks.
The man’s lawyer, Tor Haug, told news agency NTB that the man denied the offence.
