At the end of April, Thornberg was served with suspicion of a crime after Mats Löfving's death, according to Ekot in Sveriges Radio.

Prosecutor Lars Morand suspects that a crime was committed in connection with Anders Thornberg's election to deal with the high-profile cheating scandal within the police by appointing a private investigator who acquitted Linda Staaf and Thornberg himself but singled out Mats Löfving as solely responsible.
