Dmr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on his report.
The two men, 36 and 32 years old and residing in the UK, were arrested after security patrols from the Ministry of Defense and Cambridgeshire police officers found a small opening on the perimeter fence.
Suspects were arrested for alleged unauthorized entry into a prohibited facility and for material damage.
They were also detained on suspicion of entering a prohibited place for a purpose considered detrimental to the interests of the United Kingdom.
Due to the nature of the suspicions, the investigation was transferred to the anti-terrorist police.
The RAF Molesworth base is located about 112 kilometres north of London and is operated by the United States Air Force.
The facility welcomes personnel from the U.S. Command for Africa (AFRICOM) and the NATO Fusion Information Centre.
This center provides information to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.
