1. Sweden Expels Iranian Embassy Employee Over Security Threats
-- Sweden expelled an Iranian embassy employee and summoned Iran's ambassador, accusing Tehran of security threats against dissidents and Jewish and Israeli interests, AFP reported.
-- Alleged reliance on criminal proxies means the expulsion alone may not remove the security risk to those targets.
2. Kosovo Ex-President Thaci Gets 25 Years for War Crimes
-- The Kosovo Specialist Chambers sentenced Hashim Thaci to 25 years for war crimes, including murder and torture, while acquitting him and three co-defendants of crimes against humanity, AFP reported.
-- Kosovo's foreign minister denounced the verdict, which could erode domestic support for cooperation with a court established under Kosovo law to prosecute former guerrilla leaders.
3. SEC Moves to Scrap Shareholder Proposal Rules
-- A new SEC measure would scrap the rules governing how shareholders bring proposals at publicly traded companies, Bloomberg reported.
-- Removing the federal framework could increase legal uncertainty and costs for investors seeking to put governance changes to a shareholder vote.
4. Germany Weighs Larger Gas-Storage Incentives Before Winter
-- Germany is considering expanding autumn gas-storage incentives, Reuters reported, as industry data put inventories at roughly 56% of capacity.
-- Gas for immediate delivery costs more than winter futures, discouraging storage purchases; incentives could offset that disadvantage and reduce exposure to cold-weather supply shortages.
