It is not clear if they were subsequently held in detention or released on the spot (!!??)
Just when you think you've seen it all in Sweden. In Attunda, north of Stockholm, about 20 masked men attacked a courtroom where a murder conspiracy trial was taking place. They used what appeared to be flash-bang devices which they threw at police.
The trial in question involved four defendants who had been planning to attack a children's party and commit murder.
Attunda district court attacked by masked gang members- Ongoing murder trial interrupted
Domestic: 6 May 2021, 13:19
A police-guarded murder trial in Attunda District Court north of Stockholm was exposed to a violent attack Thursday. Some 20 masked persons, armed with bomb-like pyrotechnics, attacked police.
About 9 in the morning, a gang of upwards of 20 masked young men, linked to the criminal gang groups, X-Team, Bandidos, and Bredängs Network, attacked the court building in Attunda with powerful bomb-like pyrotechnic pieces, so-called bangers. These were also thrown at police who were brought in to guard the trial and the reinforcements who arrived at the scene after the attack began.
About 10 of those involved were taken into custody by police. It is not clear if they were subsequently held in detention or released on the spot. Only after lunchtime did the police gain control of the situation.
The gang-related trial, where 4 men are accused of planning murder at a children's party, was earlier transferred from Södertörn's District Court due to similar violent incidents with some 80 people involved.
The Attunda District Court specifically has a security room. However, even in the new courtrooms, proceedings cannot be conducted in legal order.
The main proceeding consists of several trial days, of which this was one.
