Criticism against the prosecutor, before the Saab-trial – Radio Sweden

” I am absolutely innocent of these alleged charges. They feel absurd and I find it difficult to take to me, ” says the former general counsel Kristina Geers to P4 West.

five years since went carmaker Saab in bankruptcy and now start the trial of suspected serious economic crime.

Seven people are accused, among them are also the former owners of the dutchman Victor Muller and the former ceo Jan-Åke Jonsson.

The suspects, the crimes must have occurred during the spring of 2011, when the economic situation of the car manufacturer was acute.

Suspicions with on how the payments made to Victor Muller should have been booked wrong, if an allegedly false agreements that have brought the Saab 30 million and gross swindling, that the management should have embellished the picture of how it went for the company financially.

the general Counsel Kristina Geers says it was a hard work to try to save the company.

“I have done my best to save Saab, but of course I have not done anything criminal,” says Kristina Geer.

You are indicted, along with several other top executives, for serious economic crime. You had full control of what you did and everything you did was legal?

” Yes, that is to say. Probably because it was stressful and we worked a lot. But from there, take the plunge and commit some criminal acts… There was never any question of this.

the Prosecutor believes that the evidence is good and that it has strengthened over the course of the study. The evidence consists of several thousand pages of material and includes, among other things, the examination of the witnesses and lots of e-mails. Something that according to the prosecution shows that the crime has been committed within the company.

– arguably so is the evidence good, ” said the prosecutor Olof Sahlgren.

But the lawyer Hans Strandberg, representing Victor Muller, do not agree with.

” We have done an incredibly thorough review and I can’t see how a court should arrive at a conviction against Victor Muller. It is a very strange indictment, ” he says.
