A member of the Malmö District Court board was suspended from his job after it was revealed that he offered treatment to a convicted man in a non-profit association run by the Scientology movement, Kvällsposten writes.
– It is very unusual for the district court to suspend the members of the board. The disciplinary issues we have regarding board members generally refer to board members not appearing in various negotiations, Lennart Strinäs, acting lawyer for the Malmö District Court, tells the newspaper.
Earlier this year, a 52-year-old man was sentenced to probation by the Malmö district court. The court disagreed and therefore the penalty was the lightest. The man would also undergo treatment deemed appropriate by the probation service.
Shortly after the verdict, the 52-year-old was contacted by one of the judges, who then offered him different treatment than prescribed. After the district court found out what the judge had done, it was decided to suspend him for four months.
