(62,325 posts)by the Prosecutor both while in Sweden and for two years since then. The prosecutor has refused to question him. Leading to the question, 'why'? And another question, why do you consistently leave this very important fact out of your list? Had she done her job, charges would have been filed long ago.
If she cares about these women, why has she NOT taken that step and gone ahead and filed her charges?
And don't bother with the false claims that there ever was a legal impediment to her doing so either in Sweden or in London because there was not.
Or the next excuse when that false claim was debunked, that she couldn't arrest him in London. He was arrested in London.
Sweden can and does arrest suspects in other countries because they are members of the EU and signed an agreement giving them the power to issue a European Arrest Warrant, which the prosecutor already did. That ensures that their suspect can and have been arrested and detained and turned over to them.
So, that leaves the prosecutor with no more excuses as to why she refuses to move this case into the courts where it belongs. Until she does, it is nothing more than allegations with, so far, no evidence to back them up.
It could be that as soon as she files charges, she will finally have to stop refusing to hand over whatever evidence she has to the Defense. Including all the exculpatory evidence, eg, the texts between the women joking about 'making money from this' eg.
Or, as the women's lawyer himself has admitted 'this is a very weak case'.
She needs to either file her charges or drop this case. Meantime people will continue to doubt these allegations as they should.
