you do understand that communications are usually between the lawyer and the prosecutor? For obvious reasons no good lawyer wants his client talking directly with the police or the prosecutors.

She took over the case on September 1st - she notified the lawyer three weeks later about the interview.

I am astounded how you refuse to understand how different the Swedish system is. They do not have a common law legal system like America. In America, the accused is charged early in the process and then after a lengthy investigation goes to court. In Sweden there is a lengthy investigation and the accuse is then charged just before the trial.

This interview is NOT a witness interview. It's purpose is to present the government's case to the accused so charges can be filed.

It is disingenuous on your part to point to a prosecutor doing exactly what Swedish law says she must and saying she is incompetent because that is not how it would happen in America.

He left Sweden the night before his interview. He knew he was going to be arrested. You can twist it all you want.
