The address of Nils “Einár” Grönberg (19) was openly available in a district court judgment.
It writes the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet
It was Thursday last week that the Swedish hip-hop star was shot and killed outside his own apartment in Hammarby south of Stockholm.
The police have questioned more than 100 people, but still no one has been suspected or arrested for the crime.
One of the questions the police have tried to get answers to is how the perpetrators could know where Einár lived.
He has lived at a secret address after he was allegedly kidnapped last year by people connected to a criminal network.
But in a drug verdict from Stockholm District Court this spring, the 19-year-old’s address is listed in connection with the police seizing the rapper’s apartment.
– Catastrophic
– This is catastrophic, says Sven-Erik Alhem, chairman of the board of the Swedish Crime Victim Support, an association for crime victims, to Aftonbladet.
– It’s devastating. Not only for the individual, but also for the trust in the state’s ability to protect people living at secret addresses.
According to Aftonbladet, it is not possible to follow if some have approached the district court and secured access to the verdict.
The district court does not register who visits the courts and reads judgments.
Alhem says it is very serious that secret information is leaked in public documents.
– People who want to get hold of people who live in hiding can be very inventive, he says.
According to Swedish law, the courts must remove information in judgments about persons who may be exposed to threats or violence.
– In this case, it has probably not been believed that the investigation contained sensitive information, says councilor Klas Lohmander to Dagens Nyheter, who has also covered the incident.
–According to Expressen the rapper has for a long time been exposed to threats. Recently, he has been active in social media, where he has posted photos from Spain, the Netherlands and Dubai.
In 2020, he was involved in a sensational case where he was abducted by a group of masked men who threatened him with a knife and stole his Rolex watch.
At the same time, he did not want to cooperate with the police to solve the case. He later said it was just a PR stunt.
But he has since lived at a secret address, according to Aftonbladet.
