According to the indictment, the policeman brought pocketknives or the like into Sweden without reporting this to customs.

He has since sold the knives via his website, which sells equipment aimed at, for example, personnel in the police and the armed forces.

Jump knives are designed so that the blade or blade can be quickly folded out and may not be sold in Sweden without a special permit.

According to the prosecutor, the man committed the crimes out of negligence.

The accused policeman says in questioning that he thought the knives in question were to be considered ordinary folding knives.
