Dagens Nyheter as well as SVT and a number of other media report on the case but do not reveal the identity of the member of the Riksdag, apparently because it concerns a person in power and not, for example, a vaccine critic.
Secrecy prevails even at the Stockholm district court. .
– We don't say a sound. Confidentiality prevails according to OSL 35:12, says an administrator at the court when Fria Tider calls on Friday.
The provision means that the information is secret for 70 years.
Do you know who? Contact Fria Tider – we pay well for secure information.
How the establishment's media got hold of the name information is unclear.
After a night out during the Christmas holiday, the politician invited two young women to his tax-financed parliament apartment in central Stockholm. There he had intercourse with the one woman, who is 25 years old. Afterwards, he swiped her 5,000 kroner.
One of the women states that this was a payment for the sexual services that had been agreed upon in advance, while the Riksdag himself claims that the money would go to “help” the woman with taxi money and rent.
In the coming weeks, the other woman contacted the politician and demanded more payment in order not to leak a picture of him that showed him having oral sex.
In total, the politician paid around SEK 65,000 to the woman, which, among other things used the money for a breast augmentation.
In the end, however, the politician had enough, and at the beginning of February he contacted the Security Police, who acted quickly and launched an investigation.
The woman is also charged with attempted gross extortion. She is accused of having tried to get the parliamentarian to pay her another 20,000 kroner.
The main hearing in the Stockholm district court was held on Wednesday under great secrecy.
To prevent alternative media from appearing on the day of the trial, parts of the indictment and the lawsuit were blacked out, and the media only reported on the incident after the main hearing had ended.
According to DN, the prosecutor and the plaintiff's attorney state that they do not want to comment on what happened.
