IFK Göteborg has increased its claim for damages against the pitch invader who attacked Östers' Sebastian Hedlund at Gamla Ullevi in May. The club is now demanding 267,000 kronor instead of 25,000 kronor, reports Göteborgs-Posten.

"In the event of serious violations of the rules that incur costs for the association, our principle is to demand compensation for our costs," writes IFK Gothenburg's security manager Jonas Arlmark to the newspaper.

The plane crasher is charged with attempted assault and violating the Public Order Act.

One reason for the increase, prosecutor Tomas Engman announced to GP, is that "Blue and White" has had to pay 150,000 kronor in fines after the scandal, as decided by the Swedish Football Association's disciplinary committee.

The plane crasher's lawyer, Adam Röning, does not want to respond to his client's position on the various charges until they have been dropped.

The Allsvenskan match on May 15 was played out after the pitch invasion. Öster won 1–0.
