– I don’t think the public should come in and take sides in a conflict like this. But the main rule is that everyone can initiate their own action, that is, the legal representative can initiate individual proceedings against Ebba Busch, says Nils Funcke.
Prosecutor Anders Jakobsson decided today to initiate a preliminary investigation against the leader of KD due to his post on Facebook about the dispute over the house in which he is located. In the post, he addresses the legal representative of the seller of the house and describes him as a criminal.
The prosecutor says that the preliminary investigation aims to clarify whether a crime has been committed that is part of the so-called public process, which applies to most crimes. But precisely the crimes of defamation and insult, or the so-called crimes of defamation, do not belong there.
They are usually carried out through individual trials where the person who has been appointed himself for his action, although public trials through prosecutors in defamation cases have become more common in recent times.
– You shouldn’t have started a preliminary investigation, says Funcke about the prosecutor’s decision.
– Now society as a prosecutor is taking sides with this legal representative, and I do not think that society should do that. I don’t think there should be a blanket prosecution when it comes to defamation cases that are not very painful cases. It could, for example, involve young people under the age of 18 who are exposed to slander, or that a police officer or other official is subjected to slander in their practice, it continues.
