Assignment review has previously told about 20-year-old "Hassan" who has a long criminal history and for a four-year period has been suspected of 221 crimes. 

In the autumn of 2019, he will receive his conditional release after serving two thirds of his prison sentence.

2.5 months later, he kills a 47-year-old man at 180 kilometers per hour.

When Assignment review goes through "Hassan's" case, it turns out that until the fatal crash he has continued to commit crimes - according to himself up to five, six a day - under the supervision of Frivården.

But the conditional release has not been affected, despite two allegations of gross illegal driving.

Prosecutor: No tools

To detain a person, it is required that the crime can result in one year in prison, which gross illegal driving cannot result in.

District Attorney Helene Gestrin says that there are no tools to deal with recurring traffic offenders.

- It is a problem that we can not detain people who systematically commit the crime of gross illegal driving.

Because some of these individuals commit crimes so systematically that it would actually be the only right thing from a societal perspective, she says. 

"Hassan's" first recognition results in a fine of SEK 3,500.

He avoids trial but does not pay the fine.

The case will then proceed to prosecution - but it will take time.

19 days later he gets stuck again.

This time too he admits to driving illegally, but even now his conditional release is not affected.

"Not guilty until convicted"

The police do not inform the Swedish Prison and Probation Service about new suspected crimes except in exceptional cases.

In addition, there is secrecy between the authorities for such information. 

Christina Thingwall is a prison inspector in Stockholm County.

She has not been involved in "Hassan's" case, but says that the probation service can act with more frequent visits and conversations if they find out that their clients are suspected of new crimes.

But just one criminal suspicion is not enough for the conditional release to be withdrawn.

- The police have one task, the court another, the prosecutor a third and we come to the end when the sentences are to be executed and that is what we do.

In addition, you are not guilty until you are convicted and it is up to the court to decide.  

Even if one recognizes on the spot? 

- Yes, it is up to the court to decide who is guilty.

"Maybe he had not driven"

The police Daniel who stopped "Hassan" at the first confession read about the fatal crash in the newspaper.

Did you think anything of your own intervention then? 

- It is clear that you are thinking about whether you could have done something different, but no, we could not have done it.

Had he sat for any of these gross illegal driving, he might not have driven, and it does not feel good, he says.

After the fatal crash, "Hassan" has been convicted of, among other things, causing another person's death and causing bodily harm.

He was sentenced to three years and three months in prison.

The conditional release has also been forfeited and another 10 months have been added to the sentence.

Police action

An investigation is also being carried out into the police's actions during the car chase.

According to their guidelines, it is important to assess the risk of persecution.

If the fugitive is not dangerous to the public, it should be discontinued as soon as there is a serious risk of injury to anyone.

The investigation concludes that the police were several hundred meters behind the fleeing car, and thus not agitated.

They also had contact with officers on duty, according to the rule book. 

- In this case, there was nothing to indicate that there was anything wrong with the police, nothing criminal at all, says Lena Kastlund, chief prosecutor at the special prosecutor's office.

"Hassan" is actually called something else.

The report "Conditionally released" can be seen on SVT Play.
