Neither the accused player nor his lawyer has wanted to answer questions before and during the trial, which ended today at Malmö District Court.
But today, after the prosecutor and the defense attorney held their closing arguments, the attorney broke the silence.
- It has been very difficult for him.
A lot of pressure and he is suspended so it has hurt him very much, he told SVT Sport, and referred to the international suspension that the international football association Fifa has put on the player, pending the district court's ruling.
Just that he has not been able to play football for a long time (he was suspended in February, editor's note), how has it affected him?
- You probably understand that yourself.
He does not feel well.
It's his liver bread, his great interest.
So it has affected him very negatively.
How did he react when he found out about the accusations?
- He was appalled.
He asked me several times, "Frank, Frank, what are we doing here?"
And after what happened today, I can fully agree with my principal.
Agree that?
- That we should not have been here.
"Very small"
Frank Thortsensson says that he is not impressed with the evidence that the prosecutor presented during the trial.
- It is as we said in court, we think it was very small.
It should never have led to prosecution.
It should have been shut down.
Mikael Nilsson, who represents a former national team player in futsal, who is charged in the same case as Cibicki, is also unimpressed by the prosecutor's evidence.
- I do not think this prosecution has any chance of success, he says.
Why?
- There is no evidence of this secret agreement (that the Allsvenskan player would take a yellow card to get a loan of SEK 300,000, please note) as the prosecutor claims.
I argue that in order to determine the goal, one must know football with all its interactions, and one must also know the gaming industry with betting and the prosecutor cannot.
What do you think is missing?
- You can not analyze this in the right way.
