Police charged: tried to call murder suspect and tell him they were looking for him

The phone number that was intercepted had been taken by someone other than the suspect, which the police discovered and therefore would end the interception. But then the researchers reacted to a strange conversation.

One person called and told the person who now had the phone number about the search, believing it was the suspect who responded. When investigators verified the number, they discovered that it was a police officer who called, who is now being prosecuted for breach of confidentiality or misconduct.

The police who called the man did not work on the investigation of the murder that occurred at Hålsjögatan in Malmö in the summer of 2019.

Denies the crime

Informing the person that the police are interested in him is completely incorrect and information that should be kept within the preliminary inquiry. The decision to tell a person that the police are interested in the person in question is decided by those working on the case, “says the head of the Malmö Police Investigation Section in an interrogation.

The accused police deny the crime and say that probably some chief gave the order to contact the wanted man to surrender, and that the purpose was never to break the duty of confidentiality since it was already known that the man was wanted. But the police can’t remember which manager gave them the assignment.
