The "Hammer" of Swedish Justice

Hat tip Nyheter Idag. (Translation by Fousesquawk).


Recently, we posted the case of two young migrants in Sweden who attacked an 18-year-old Swedish boy after he got off the subway. They kidnapped him, robbed him, beat him, and then urinated on him-into his mouth even- while recording the act and spreading it on the internet.

Well, just as it seemed that justice had finally caught up with the perps, who are 16 years old, it seems that one of them decided he had been punished enough

Seems he didn't like his new surroundings, so he left. Now-get this- the Swedish authorities are trying (unsuccessfully) to convince him to return.

Nyheter Idag has the story.

Humiliation/Robbers sentenced to Juvenile care- (One) refuses to take his sentence

In February, a 16-year-old was sentenced to juvenile care fro three robberies, two cases of abuse and one case of unlawful detention. One of the robberies received a lot of attention when the robbers urinated upon their victim, which was filmed and disseminated. But the 16-year-old refuses to accept his sentence. He has left the HVB home and refuses to return.

After a very attention (grabbing) humiliation-robbery, where the robbers urinated on their victim, a 16-year-old was sentenced to juvenile care.

But now, Aftonbladet reveals that the care placement isn't working-since the 16-year-old refuses to accept his sentence. The 16-year-old has left the HVB home where he was placed, and refuses to return.

Prosecutor Mirna Lelic feels that the penalty doesn't work and wants to see other actions. In (her) memo to the district court, she says that "social services has made several attempts to get him to return, among which to contact him and buy him a train ticket. But that has not helped.

"Then I think that he misunderstands this so much that this punishment should be eliminated," Mirna Lelic tells Aftonbladet.

The problem is that the sentence value for for the crimes the 16-year-old was convicted of is too low for (lock-down) youth care to be in effect. Lock down youth care requires that the penalty is at least one year.

"And the district court ruled that the sentence is 8 months (in custody), so that doesn't arise to the limit beyond which he could be sentenced to lock down youth care.  So it's a little tricky," Lelic tells Aftonbladet.

Södertörn's district court will request a new opinion from Social Services, after which the parties will be called to a meeting to express their views. 

In February, Prosecutor Mirna Lelic told Aftonbladet that the sentence of the newly-convicted robbers didn't mean loss of freedom.

"They are not locked up. It is not like a prison in that you cannot leave. It is not that," said Lelic to Nyheter Idag.
