The terrorist attack on Drottninggatan took place on April 7, 2017. In the judgment from Stockholm District Court, which was announced in the summer of 2018, there are 136 identified plaintiffs who have been awarded damages.
But the judgment also states that another 25 unidentified plaintiffs were exposed to crime in connection with the terrorist attack.
The district court estimated that the victims of crime who had been subjected to attempted murder would receive between SEK 125,000 and 150,000 in damages. People who were exposed to causing danger to others received between 30,000 and 40,000 kronor.
The perpetrator Rakhmat Akilov himself could not pay any damages. Since the terrorist attack, identified crime victims have instead sought compensation through insurance compensation and criminal damages. In total, more than SEK 11 million has been paid in criminal damages.
None of the unidentified plaintiffs have yet applied for criminal damages with the Crime Victims Authority. This is despite the fact that it is highly probable that they are entitled to compensation if they have not already been fully compensated by insurance compensation.
An application for criminal damages must be made within three years of the end of the legal process. In this case, it means three years from the judgment became final and could no longer be appealed.
The unidentified 25 plaintiffs from the terrorist attack, who want to apply for criminal damages, must do so by 28 June 2021 Children who have been the victims of crime can apply until the child reaches the age of 21.
