A hearing at the High Criminal Court meanwhile said that it will announce a verdict in the case on June 21.
The prosecution accuses each of Ali Salman, Hassan Ali Jomaa Sultan and Ali Mahdi al-Aswad with spying for Doha.
The High Criminal Court had continued its proceedings on Tuesday, looking into charges that the defendants had "collaborated with a foreign country to commit hostile acts against Bahrain." They sought to "undermine its political and economic status and its national interests for the purpose of toppling the ruling regime."
The charges also include "passing defense secrets to and accepting money from a foreign country in exchange for providing it with military secrets and information about the internal situation in Bahrain and spreading rumors abroad to weaken the financial confidence in the Kingdom and undermine its standing," reported the Bahrain news agency (BNA).
The general prosecutor said that the court held an open session on Tuesday according to the law. The first defendant and his lawyer were present, while the second and third suspects were absent.
