The criminal suspicions concern minor theft, ie a sum of less than SEK 1,250.

Ann-Christine Lindeblad says via her defender that she is prepared to receive a penalty order.

This means that in practice she admits the theft.

- She wants to say that she deeply regrets what happened.

She was simply not herself and had a lot to do both privately and in the service.

She has decided to take the consequences of this, says Johan Eriksson to SVT.

Leaving HD

Ann-Christine Lindeblad is currently on sick leave and says that she has not participated in any sentencing since the theft occurred.

She is 67 years old and will not return to her job.

The chairman of the Supreme Court, Anders Eka, tells Expressen that Lindeblad told about the incident just before Christmas.

However, he states that he does not know more about the background to the suspicions.

- But I have understood that it happened in connection with grocery shopping.

Ready "within a few weeks"

The case is being investigated by the police's department for special investigations and is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.

Chief prosecutor Per Nichols leads the investigation and confirms to SVT that it is about suspicions of theft in a store.

He is otherwise silent.

- As for the investigation itself and its content, I choose not to comment right now.

But my assessment is that it will not be a confidentiality that lasts.
