- I don't know of any explanation. Ola and his defense speculate that the prosecutor has failed to find any evidence at all for the first criminal charge. And that by changing the crime category, the prosecutor believes he should have better opportunities to find something, says Ola Bini's father Dag Gustafsson, to TT.

According to Mats Lövgren, press contact for Ola Bini's family, the new criminal classification should not affect the scale of punishment.

- The information I've been given is that the scale of punishment is the same, he tells SVT News.

Arrested the same day as Assange

Ola Bini was arrested April 11 earlier, the same day as friend and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was arrested at Ecuador's Embassy in London. Ecuador's President Lenín Moreno has previously accused Ola Bini of hacking phones belonging to government members, but according to the prosecutor's new criminal classification, Bini is said to have made a data breach against state telecommunications company CNT.

- The prosecutor claims that a screenshot from 2015, found on Ola Bini's cell phone, proves the data breach. But we mean that there is nothing in the picture that proves that there has been some crime, says Mats Lövgren.
