In the ongoing trial at the Södertörn District Court, the lawyer represents a man who has been identified as a leader in an extensive organized drug trade.
Recently, both the Chancellor of Justice and the prosecutor in the case demanded that she be fired from the assignment, after she was caught smuggling letters at the detention center.
In a letter to the court, the lawyer admitted that she had brought letters, but that they were innocent love letters from the man’s girlfriend.
It is now clear that she will be dismissed from her assignment, following a decision by the Svea Court of Appeal on Wednesday.
“She doesn’t have that right at all”
The decision says:
The Court of Appeals considers that the information contained in the letters is not manifestly inoffensive and that it cannot be ruled out that the criminal investigation is difficult. (The lawyer), by sending the letters, has failed to fulfill his obligations as a public defender. Therefore, she must be removed from her position as public defender.[…]”
Therefore, the Court of Appeal follows the line of prosecutor Lars Ågren. Last week he said:
– It is not up to her to make decisions about what she considers innocent messages or not. She doesn’t have that right at all.
The smuggling of letters was discovered in connection with a letter that followed the ordinary rules. When the police examined the letter from the man’s girlfriend, they saw that it began with the words:
Yesterday I received your letter from your lawyer after the trial.
The letter from the bride was found
After further investigation, they found the letters from the girlfriend that the lawyer smuggled into the prison.
The letters were delivered at the same time the man was detained with restraints, meaning that all contact with the outside world must first be approved by the prosecutor.
This despite the fact that he has been detained with restrictions, which means that prosecutors must approve any contact the man has with the outside world.
After the police and prosecutors learned of the letters, the man wrote in the following letter to his girlfriend:
“How can you write a letter to the prosecutor who received the letter I gave my lawyer after the trial? You yourself know that she cannot do that, but you did not think it was an exaggeration, but you will see if she gets rid of the job and then no lawyer can do what she did, give and receive letters. “
Expressen has contacted the attorney who declined to comment.
