The prosecutor wants to see many years in prison

The prosecutor has demanded life imprisonment for the 32-year-old and 16 years in prison for his partner.

A person who, according to the prosecutor, acted as a cocaine supplier risks up to 18 years in prison.

For another person, who is suspected of involvement in the kidnapping of a minor artist, imprisonment is demanded for ten years.

That part of the case has received the most attention as two well-known rap artists are also accused of involvement.

Yasin Mahamoud is charged with stamping or preparation for kidnapping according to what the prosecutor believes was a previously unsuccessful attempt to kidnap the artist.

The other rapper Haval Khalil is then said to have taken over the task of attracting the artist.

He is charged with kidnapping and robbery, or aiding and abetting the crimes.

Encrochat main evidence

Södertörn District Court calls the case the "Encro case" because the largest piece of evidence was obtained from the encrypted communication service Encrochat.

French police infiltrated the service in the spring of 2020 and via chat logs, the police have since been able to follow the planning and execution of various crimes.

The defense has criticized the evidence for not being robust enough.

One of the defendants' lawyers believes, for example, that it cannot be ruled out that another person may have used the telephone that the prosecution connects to his client.

The two rappers have during the trial denied all involvement in the crimes and believe that the prosecutor misunderstood the communication.

All of the other defendants have largely denied the crime.

The verdict will be announced at 11 o'clock.
