The man is sentenced to prison for 14 years, compared to 12 years in the district court.
The fact that his sentence is not longer is due to the fact that it is reduced because he provided crucial information during the investigation. The actual sentence value for the crime is life imprisonment, according to the Göta Court of Appeal.
The court simultaneously reduces the sentence for a man who instigated the murder. He was sentenced in the district court to 18 years in prison, but now gets 12 years. This is because he was sentenced in May this year to nine years in prison for other crimes in Finland, a sentence that the court of appeal has had to add to the sentence that is now imposed in the Swedish trial.
The shooting occurred on the evening of August 12 last year. In the same car was another man who fled and escaped without injury. The incident is likely linked to gang crime.
