Pontus Jansson is reporting the prosecutor to the Parliamentary Ombudsman for a number of inaccuracies and what he perceives as untruths in the preliminary investigation in which the Malmö FF star features.

"The way it has been presented in the media has led me to choose to submit a complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman," he writes on his Instagram account.

Malmö FF's centre-back continues:

"Against the background of all the various claims that have emerged over the past few weeks and the extensive attention they have received, I would, in order to nuance what has been written in the media, like to clarify my view of what happened."

Pontus Jansson was involved in a group chat in a criminal investigation linked to Malmö FF supporters, without being suspected of a crime himself. MFF chose to conduct an internal investigation and subsequently decided to take several disciplinary measures. Among other things, Jansson was stripped of the captain's armband.

"Should have distanced myself"

"As you know, I never had any malicious intentions when I joined the aforementioned chat group. I should have distanced myself earlier and left the group when I became an MFF player last summer. Everyone can make mistakes, this time it was I who made an error and I cannot undo this. I have realised that my way forward is to learn from this mistake, become a better person and hopefully also be able to come back as an even stronger football player. It is undoubtedly the case that I made a mistake. I am unfortunately not alone in this."

But he has strong objections to the preliminary investigation.

"Inaccuracies and untruths"

Jansson writes:

"Over the past few weeks, I have had to relate to a long series of inaccuracies and untruths in media reporting. These have affected me and my life to a great extent. Above all, my and my family's lives have been affected by the inaccuracies of the investigation. All of the above has also cast an unfair shadow over what has always been my heart's club, Malmö FF."

"My lawyers and I pointed out even before the investigation became public that there were significant inaccuracies in it. Afterwards, when the inaccuracies were spread to the general public, we were told that it was unfortunate that mistakes had been made in one of the chats."

Jansson does not wish to comment and refers to his lawyers.
