The boycott has previously been heavily criticized by the city auditor. But no official misconduct was committed when the red-green majority in Gothenburg City Council introduced a purchasing ban on goods from, among others, Israel last spring, reports Gothenburg Post.
The boycott, which was lifted by the Administrative Court last autumn, was indeed illegal but will not lead to any prosecution for crime according to prosecutor James von Reis.
Upon closer examination of how the decision was made, there is an uncertainty that one should not have in criminal cases if one is to prosecute, he says to GP.
