The Göta Court of Appeal acquitted a Norrköping restaurateur who was convicted of human exploitation. The Public Prosecutor (RÅ) is now appealing the acquittal.
The restaurateur was sentenced in district court to eight months in prison for exploiting a young Bangladeshi couple working in their restaurant under unreasonable conditions. He was later acquitted in the Court of Appeal.
According to the Court of Appeal, the couple were not in a difficult situation when they arrived in Sweden because they had been granted a residence permit and certain economic assets. The Court of Appeal also held that only one of them had been tricked into working under manifestly unreasonable conditions, but the misrepresentation was not so qualified as to constitute a crime.
RÅ now wants the Supreme Court to clarify how the concepts included in the crime of human exploitation should be interpreted and applied, the Public Ministry writes in a press release.
