A 25-year-old man has been sentenced to five years in prison for serious illegal threats, several local media report. This is an incident that occurred in Bergnäset in Luleå on Christmas Day 2019 where the man, together with another man, fired several shots at two people with a semi-automatic hunting weapon. The shots must have hit the windows and walls of nearby buildings.

The background of the incident is about a drug business, where the victim owes money to one of the convicts. The other man is sentenced to nine months in prison for aiding and inciting a serious illegal threat. The prosecutor mainly wanted the men to be convicted of attempted murder, but the court followed the prosecutor’s second-hand line, that is, manifestly illegal threats.

Three other people are convicted in connection with the incident. The other three involved, two men and one woman, are on probation for aiding and inciting serious illegal threats.

The 25-year-old man has denied wrongdoing during the investigation and trial.
