Four are charged with extensive graffiti in over 100 locations

The acts for which the men are prosecuted took place during 2018-2019 and are documented by the fact that they themselves must have filmed when the vandalism took place.

Prosecutor Martin Westling tells SVT that it is a comprehensive case.

- I have submitted 106 preliminary investigations, one for each incident.

Since no one is in custody, we will have to wait a while before the case is taken up in the district court and I do not expect it to be decided until next summer at the earliest, he says.

The men must have continued to scribble

The men are between 20-40 years old and live in the Stockholm area.

According to information to SVT, the men who have been active scribblers for many years have also continued with the vandalism after they were arrested, but to a much lesser extent.

All deny the crime.

In 2019, SL stated that it spent 300 million annually on graffiti removal in public transport.
