The organization Nähatsgranskaren writes on its website that they "work to reduce hate crimes and violations on the internet".
It is in that organization that the person who met Joakim Lamotte in court today is active.
It is not the first time the employee has taken issue with the very posts that the trial on Thursday was about.
The posts, which have been published from 2018 onwards, have in several cases been spread further by other people.
In several cases, these have also been reported for defamation and convicted.
Convicted of gross defamation
In the posts, Joakim Lamotte has described Nähatsgranskaren's employees in a derogatory way.
The question on Thursday was whether the court would follow Joakim Lamotte's line - that the Nähatsgranskaren's employee is a public figure and that the posts thereby carried relevance and public interest.
Or, that it was slander.
The court chose to go against Lamotte's argument and believes that the posts are defamatory and that Joakim Lamotte should not have published the information.
Lamotte is convicted of gross defamation and must pay daily fines of SEK 30,000 and SEK 20,000 in damages to the plaintiff.
"Will never back down"
- I stand by everything I wrote and I regret nothing.
I stand straight through this, it's not me who should be ashamed, says Joakim Lamotte to SVT Nyheter Väst.
In addition, Lamotte must also pay the court costs for the other party.
A sum of nearly a quarter of a million.
-
It must be worth every penny.
I will never back down from people like this.
Joakim Lamotte has not yet read the verdict when SVT reaches him by phone, and he therefore cannot answer whether he will appeal.
He denies any crime and believes that what he did was justifiable.
