The image conflict continues.
Bingo Rimér will not agree to Leif GW Persson’s demand to destroy the board representing the professor of crime.
“My director will not destroy the board,” wrote Bingo Rimér’s attorney in the disputed letter.
It was earlier this week that Aftonbladet wrote about the television profile and the crime professor Leif GW Persson, 75, requires a painting that represents his face on a thousand dollar bill as the photographer Bingo Rimér, 45, has created, and all possible copies will be destroyed. In a demand letter through your attorney, you also want an account of any sale of the painting, to decide on damages.
Bingo Rimér has now disputed the claim.

Leif GW Persson.
His lawyer Mark Safaryan has in a letter to Leif’s lawyer GW Persson Hanna rosengren written:
“My director will not destroy the painting, the painting is considered a work of art and does not violate trademark protection. Bingo Rimér’s intention with the board has been to donate it to charity in these difficult times. In general, my director disputes your request in its entirety. “
GW lawyer: ‘invent business’
Hanna Rosengren writes in a comment to Aftonbladet about the disputed letter:
“In my email to the Rimér representative, I requested a sales account that Rimér stated online that he would make, that is, copies / prints and the like of the original work. It is a commercial activity that is not allowed without the permission of the brand owner. The representative has not responded to this, which is why I reminded him in an email today. So far no damages have been specified because it depends, among other things, on the scope of the business activity. “
GW on Bingo: “Pornographic Photographer”
Leif GW Persson told Aftonbladet on Tuesday that for him it’s basically not about the board itself, yet he doesn’t want under any circumstances to be connected to Bingo Rimér as a person.
He also called Bingo Rimér “the most famous porn photographer in the country.”
– He has earned his living by turning half of humanity, that is, women, into a kind of consumer good. That I would be connected to him is completely unthinkable to me, he told Aftonbladet.
Leif GW Persson also said that he does not intend to “help Bingo Rimér and what it stands for.”
– This is his food hook for many years, he uses Musikhjälpen as a kind of commercial instrument and when they have his painting up for auction, he sells copies in various sizes and I have a hard time seeing that they end up with Music helps.
Does not share the same image
Bingo Rimér’s attorney, Mark Safaryan, told Aftonbladet:
– As for the accusations that Leif GW Persson makes against the person of Bingo Rimér, I see no reason to comment. What can be said is that we have respect for Leif GW Persson, but we do not share his perception of the reality about Bingo Rimér.
Aftonbladet has sought out Leif GW Persson.

Bingo Rimér writes on Instagram that he sent an email to Leif GW Persson about the board, which was a tribute to him.
