that there is a strong public interest in examining if the use of the logo is a criminal act or not.
“This time hit the Swedish migration board, the next time, someone else may suffer. Therefore, we want the National public prosecutor’s office to reconsider the prosecutor’s earlier decision”, said Fredrik Bengtsson.
