This summer, Malmö District Court's rulings came in two high-profile match-fixing cases.
The most noticed part, which was about a yellow card in an Allsvenskan match in 2019, ended with an acquittal.
Division 3 matches
The prosecutor claimed that a player had received a yellow card on purpose, which the district court considered probable but not strengthened without reasonable doubt.
The prosecutor therefore appealed the verdict.
The second part of the trial was about a Malmö team that then played in division 3. The team's goalkeeper was accused of having received bribes to ensure that the team would lose on six different occasions.
Both he and the person who sent money to him were convicted, against their denials.
"District Court judgments for mild"
The punishment was a conditional sentence and daily fine for both persons.
The judges were appealed by both parties, the convicts deny the crime and want to be acquitted, while the prosecutor wants to see prison sentences.
In the appeal, prosecutors Staffan Edlund and Johan Lindmark write that the district court's rulings are too lenient.
"It has been about a type of crime that has increased a lot in recent years, a crime that is very difficult to detect and which in this case has affected a large number of people connected to the football team that has been the subject of gambling.
We therefore believe that this type of gambling fraud should be assessed as a species crime and that the penalty value is also at a level that should give rise to a prison sentence ", they write, and further develop:
"The district court has considered that the penalty value corresponds approximately to the penalty that would have been paid for a person who entered a store without planning and where at the time of filing took a slightly more expensive jacket and went out without paying."
