Fingerprint Cards, and board member Lars Söderfjell released at 17 o’clock on the Tuesday, on the loose from the Kronobergshäktet where he has been charged in over a day.
” He is not detained longer. We have just had a hearing and the prosecutor withdrew the arrest, ” says Olle Kullinger, Lars Söderfjells lawyer, to SvD.
Barely an hour later lifted the request against the storägaren Johan Carlström and even he left Kronobergshäktet. Both consider themselves innocent of the charges, but remains suspected of a crime and is being further investigated by the prosecutor’s office.
– Carlström was released at 18: 00 and on the way home, ” says Per E Samuelsson, Carlströms lawyer.
Per E Samuelsson during the day has been busy with the big Saab-the trial in Vänersborg and has had a replacement during the prosecutor’s questioning of Johan Carlström.
” I was not at today’s hearing, but already yesterday it was clear that Carlström had a natural explanation. There is a commercial explanation that does not involve any inside information to the transactions that the prosecutor questioned. Although it may looked very strange on the paper when the prosecutor looked at it, ” he says.
What now?
the serious fraud office has taken Carlströms phone so I have not got hold of him. But he should probably go home, lick their wounds and rest up. Now the ball is in the prosecutor of what happens in the future, ” says Per E Samuelsson.
