The event should have occurred in connection with the meeting between the Czech Republic and Sweden at the Beijer hockey games in February.
In his experience, the man has been involved in similar situations in the union before, but the victims did not dare to present themselves.
A witness stated that he had previously reacted to the fact that the defendant had been physically well against the victim and that the man must have misbehaved against another employee in 2016, resulting in sick leave.
In a text message to the victim on the same night, a witness wrote: “I have been thinking all night about what X (the accused) did in the tunnel. I apologize for not having an outbreak there and then I got so bloated. So damn surreal. I will talk to X (person in union). It is not the first time that he is with you. It’s so fucking good. If it touches you again, I’ll knock you unconscious. “
Obtained psychological assistance
The victim herself did not dare to report the incident due to the consequences it could have in terms of employment.
A highly esteemed person in the union must have questioned contact with the union and should have asked several times; “What do you want from the situation?”
She has a strong feeling that the union wants to silence what happened.
Due to the incident, she has sought and received assistance from psychologists.
Definitely denies crime
The same person in the union who must have questioned contact with the union claims that the situation has also been raised with the author and announced that there is now zero tolerance for similar behavior in the future.
According to the Confederate, there have been two different versions to take a position and the person in question never considered the police report that happened.
The defendant in the police interrogation denies a specific crime, he claims it was a friendly hug.
– It is normal that we hug, it was a hug in the movement in the hallway. We don’t stop and talk to each other. Usually we say goodbye, for example in the office. Come on, I get a hug that X has called. This was a regular hug, he says.
In addition, she states that a few years ago the woman must have wondered why she had not given her a position in the union that interested her and that she was upset about.
I have to leave the union
Anders Feltenmark states in his interrogation that there have been abuses in the union for some time, but that no one else dared to endorse the information.
On April 6, after 24 years, Anders Feltenmark was forced to leave his job at the Swedish Ice Hockey Association.
According to the union, it would be a labor shortage and Anders Feltenmark was given the duty of confidentiality.
According to the information to Sportbladet, the management of the union has considered that Anders Feltenmark has damaged the union and that, therefore, there is a reason for the termination.
“Take a great distance”
On Monday, the Swedish Ice Hockey Association commented on the processing on its website.
“The Swedish Ice Hockey Association is behind a police report in cases where there are suspicions that a crime has been committed. The union has a strict zero tolerance and distances these kinds of events a lot. “
“On paper and responsibility as an employer, an internal investigation was conducted in connection with the incident. The union has also taken a supporting role in relation to the person who may have been the victim of a crime and has acted to create a functional employment situation for him. Of course, we must ask ourselves whether we could have acted more vigorously in the situation, depending on where the problem ended today. “
