Sveriges Radio P4 Kalmar reveals the story of how a convicted gang criminal man employed as district notary by the Kalmar district court.

A district notary is the first level of judge in Sweden and notaries themselves can judge in simpler cases. They have a passed degree from the law program.

But this judge himself was sentenced to six months in prison for weapons offences, after having a loaded gun during a confrontation in the criminal world at a gambling club. A protective vest was also found in a dustbin where the man was, the verdict says according to Sveriges Radio.

After the crime was revealed, it has also emerged that the man is registered at the district court's office, as the Tax Agency could not find a residential address to sign him and therefore register him at his workplace.

The head of the Kalmar District Court, the lawyer Laila Kirppu, confirms to P4 Kalmar that an internal investigation has been launched regarding an employee.

So far, no explosions or shootings have been directed at the district court's office, but according to Kirppu it is still “unacceptable” that gang criminal employees are posted on the court's premises.
