“Word goes against words and there is not enough support for the plaintiff's information.

As the preliminary investigation has been closed, there is confidentiality of the preliminary investigation in the case and I can therefore not give any further comments ", says chamber prosecutor Annika Hessel who led the preliminary investigation in a press release.

It was in the spring that the player was accused of rape and violence in a close relationship.

In May, the preliminary investigation into the rape was dropped, but the player was still suspected of assault.

Lack of evidence has now led to the closure of that preliminary investigation as well.

After the rape investigation was closed, the player applied for damages.

The player's lawyer said that the attention surrounding the case "caused fear of being touched" by employers, which made the player's future career more difficult.

Due to the player's status as a public figure, the lawyer considered that the damages should be higher than normal.

-He is a public person, you media would not have taken this up in the way you did if it was an ordinary Svensson who was not a name.

A hockey player has a market value, his lawyer then told Expressen.
