The police’s handling of the 2023 case involving Mohamed, a boy from Nässjö, will be decided by the district court after the Equality Ombudsman (DO) sued the authority.

An oral hearing recently ended without the parties reaching a settlement, reports P4 Jönköping.

The parties will therefore meet for a three-day trial at Stockholm District Court in May next year. It will be the first time that DO has sued the police for discrimination.

The court will decide whether Mohamed’s mother and sister were discriminated against by the police, and whether the authority should pay the 300,000 kronor in damages sought by DO.

In July 2023, the 14-year-old boy disappeared from an HVB home. He was found murdered outside Nynäshamn four days after his family called the police.

The case attracted considerable media attention.
