“however, the court can examine the question of guilt by a so-called bevistalan in the case of very serious crimes such as murder, or rough rape.”
“A bevistalan may only be made if it is requested by the social welfare board, the national Board of health or the child’s guardian. If bevistalan is requested, the prosecutor may bring such if it is required from the general point of view. In the assessment, the prosecutor, inter alia, to evaluate whether the evidence would have been sufficient for a similar prosecution against a straffmyndig person.”
“At the bevistalan takes the district court to decide if the child has committed the offence or not, but no penalty is imposed does not.”
