Prosecutor Seeks to Block Further Questioning of Ex-Swedbank CEO

Sweden's Prosecutor General is opposing a request from Birgitte Bonnesen's defense team to further question the former Swedbank CEO in her ongoing legal case, according to a report in Dagens industri. The Prosecutor General's office formally submitted its opposition to the Supreme Court. The submission argues that the existing written record and documentation are sufficient for adjudication, asserting that no "exceptional reasons" exist to warrant supplementary questioning, as legally required. The Prosecutor General maintains that the case should proceed to a decision based on the current evidence, without additional interviews with Ms. Bonnesen.
