Intense Policing in Netcompany Data Heist

A 34-year-old man is held in custody for four weeks in a data theft case involving Netcompany. The judge mandates his transfer to a psychiatric facility. Police must still analyze substantial material, with stolen data found among the accused’s possessions, states special prosecutor Anders Larsson. The full scope of damage is assessed as reports from affected parties are pending. Defense lawyer Henrik Stagetorn questions the lack of timeline for the police’s technical work completion and minimizes the case’s severity by mentioning that the data involved is outdated. The accused, detained since late February, confesses to the incident’s facts but denies the extortion charge. A name ban protects the suspect’s identity.
