A 30-year-old and a 39-year-old man was acquitted last week from the high-profile prosecution in the Solna district court on terrorförberedelser. A few days before the judgment fell was lifted after their arrests, but instead of being set at liberty they were in the custody of the security Police according to the law of a particular alien control (LSU). The security service believe that they represent a threat to national security.
– the Law on the special alien control is no brottsprocess and has nothing to do with the investigation that they were subject to. But it is a law where the security service has an opportunity to where we consider that the operator will be able to participate in terrorist activities, the preparation or the other, we have the opportunity to apply for that person should be deported, ” says Fredrik Hallström.
