The verdict had previously been scheduled for December 3, but has now been postponed until February 17, 2027.
The reason is that the district court needs more time to complete the judgment, according to a press release.
Ian Lundin and Alex Schneiter, former representatives of Lundin Oil, are charged with aiding and abetting serious crimes against humanity in southern Sudan between 1999 and 2003, when the Swedish company was active in the country, which was ravaged by civil war.
The trial began in September 2023 and ended in May this year. It is the longest main hearing ever held in Sweden.
