Falk is acquitted on several points, including the suspicion of arson.
But the district court finds that he has written a threatening message to Joachim Kuylenstierna and for that he gets prison for one year and ten months.
One can say that he is acquitted of all parts except one. It concerns this message that was found on his computer. I think that the district court's analysis in many parts is wise, but in this part we have different opinions, says Tobias Enochson.
"The last word not said"
The extortion against Joachim Kuylenstierna is based on an investment in a company linked to him that Falk made with the help of a relative in 2009. The money was lost, however.
In October 2023, Kuylenstierna received a demand for 100 million kronor for a "debt".
"Hello. I will be your contact person regarding the debt that we will collect. In 2009, you chose to take in capital from people you may not have taken capital from. You have since chosen not to pay off the debt according to the agreement", it said, among other things, in the message found on Falk's computer.
Falk claims that it is not he who wrote the message.
We believe that the computer was outside Barcelona, at the same time as Falk was on Ibiza. The district court makes a different interpretation and my opinion is that the last word is not said, says Enochson.
The prosecutor has claimed that Falk in various ways controlled the extortion against Kuylenstierna, but the district court believes that it cannot be proven.
Kuylenstierna has, among other things, received threats that relatives would come to harm, and in November 2023, a petrol bomb was thrown against a garage wall at one of his colleagues' homes. In October last year, a gate in Stockholm was blown up where a relative of Kuylenstierna was registered.
Several people, some with connections to the Vårbyn network, were convicted last year for the mapping and arson.
Previously convicted
52-year-old Falk has previously been convicted of, among other things, several bank robberies. He has also been pointed out as the main man in a worldwide cocaine league that smuggled narcotics for hundreds of millions of kronor, something that became known as "Operation Playa". He was sentenced in the district court to 18 years in prison but was acquitted a year later in the court of appeal in notable forms.
A woman in her 60s, Falk's relative, is acquitted of attempted gross extortion.
