Writer Cissi Wallin writes that the formal lawsuit will come on Friday, but that on Wednesday she was told that she is being prosecuted through her legal representative. The trial will take place within a few months.

"Since I do not believe that I have done anything criminal, and thus have nothing to hide, I welcome the public and the press to this trial ," she writes on the Gardet site.

Fredrik Virtanen comments on the upcoming prosecution on Twitter:

“Feels nice. That is the beginning of the end of this nightmare ”.

Police reported after #metoo

Cissi Wallin was one of the first in Sweden to accuse a public person of abuse in connection with the #metoo movement.

The investigation against Wallin started in March 2018 after Virtanen police reported her, after she openly accused him of raping her eleven years earlier. The preliminary investigation against Virtanen was closed in 2012.

SVT News has sought the prosecutor.
