Business leader Karl Hedin is suing the Swedish state after being acquitted in a highly publicized hunting crime case two years ago.

In the lawsuit – which was submitted to the Stockholm District Court on Monday – Hedin is demanding compensation for the serious and illegal errors he believes he was subjected to.

According to the lawsuit, this includes, among other things, illegal phone tapping, incorrectly reported phone calls, and unjustified deprivation of liberty. Earlier this year, Karl Hedin turned to the Chancellor of Justice with a compensation claim of 8.3 million.

The claim was rejected – instead, Hedin was awarded 31,000 kronor in compensation.

The money doesn't matter at all to Karl Hedin. But this is the only way for him to get some form of redress, says Hedin's lawyer Klas Bjuremark to TT.

Karl Hedin was arrested at the end of October 2018. He was later charged with, among other things, gross hunting crime, suspected of illegally hunting wolves. Both the Västmanland District Court and the Svea Court of Appeal acquitted him on all counts in the case.
