It was in July last year that the man was arrested on suspicion of spraying a message at the future town hall in Växjö. At the arrest, the man was wearing spray cans and face mask. According to the prosecutor, the scrap caused damage to more than SEK 8,000.

During the police interrogation, the man acknowledged the act and stated that he wanted to protest against the cost of the construction. But even though the man later denied the action during the main hearing, Växjö sentenced the district court to damages.

The man will now have to pay compensation of SEK 6480 to the property manager and daily fines.
