After police were alerted to Mobilia that gang members were walking around in motorcycle vests during the noon sale, several patrol cars withdrew. Now one of the policemen is brought to justice for pushing a handcuffed gangster into a pool of water and then dumping his vest into a dog latrine.
Several men in Satudarah vests caused concern at Mobilia during the noon sale last year. One of the police officers who participated in the intervention against him is now being brought to justice.
The source of the current event occurred during the noon sale at Mobilia on December 26 of last year.
The public alerted 112 that members of the Satudarah motorcycle gang were causing concern.
When emergency patrols reached the department store, the men lined up with their hands against the wall.
When a 31-year-old convicted repeatedly protested, the decision was made to expel him from the scene because he was considered to be disturbing public order.
The 31-year-old was handcuffed. and was laid on the floor of a police bus. They then took him to the municipal border towards Svedala to be released.
With his arms clasped behind his back, the 31-year-old was placed face down in a deep pool of water. His belongings, including SEK 60,000 in cash, were placed next to him so that several bills flew, according to the investigation.
It is later said that the same policeman took the 31-year-old vest with Satudarah’s print on its back and placed it in a barrel for a dog latrine.
When the police chief later learned of the intervention, he made a report to the department of the special investigations authority.
This has now led to the police being brought to justice for harassment in the pool of water and illegal possession of the vest. Alternatively, the prosecutor alleges that it was a misdemeanor.
The two fellow policemen those who participated in the operation are called as witnesses.
Under Swedish law, the police can only seize gang vests and similar paraphernalia if they have been used as a criminal tool, for example in extortion. But in this case, the 31-year-old was not suspected of any crime.
– It doesn’t matter if it was a motorcycle or a tool vest, it would have been an illegal removal anyway, says Chief Prosecutor Joakim Zander.
The police himself denies the accusations and says that the 31-year-old man was turned face down in handcuffs because he was disorderly during the transport. The man’s belongings were placed in his bag.
The police officer does not recall any puddle of water, nor that he had thrown the motorcycle vest in a dog latrine. He believes colleagues should have reacted and said if they felt he was acting incorrectly.
The Police Personnel Accountability Committee has decided that the police officer will be allowed to keep the job, even if convicted in court.
