According to prosecutor Carolyn Westeröd, the man, who is in his 70s, was driven by a hate motive. Two people were lightly injured, but all demonstrators, approximately 70 people, are counted as victims in the indictment.
In addition to the car attack in August last year, the man is also being prosecuted for incitement against a ethnic group after various posts on social media.
That he is being prosecuted for incitement against a ethnic group clearly shows what attitude and values he has towards Palestinians. The evidence cited under that point is also evidence of the hate crime motive, says Carolyn Westeröd to Borås Tidning.
