Like the Västmanland District Court, the High Court makes the assessment that the brothers' stories are not credible enough. In the same way as the district court, the High Court questions that the brothers provided conflicting information during the police investigation.

In order to base their stories on a conviction, sufficient supporting evidence is required, which the court of law does not consider exist.

Parts of the event were filmed

The verdict concerns an event that took place at Bjurhovda in Västerås on March 23 last year. Then the two brothers should have been exposed to threats, violence and blackmail - according to the prosecutor of the five men in the Västerås network.

Some parts of the event were filmed by a motion control camera, but the recordings did not sufficiently substantiate the claims of the brothers or the prosecutor. Here's how the right writes:

“In summary, the film sequences are largely consistent with the external events that NN * has told us about. However, the films do not provide any closer support for the prosecutor's claim that NN was exposed to threats and violence on the part of the defendants and that there were weapons on the scene. Regarding the allegation that NN was being watched by the defendants, certain film sequences suggest that this was not the case. "

(* NN = one of the brothers)

Sharpen the 22-year-old's penalty

On the other hand, the High Court is tightening the 22-year-old's sentence.
