Now prosecutor Per Nichols has issued a criminal injunction against the justice council that stole food in a Coop store - on two different occasions.
Among the evidence is a surveillance film where you see how the Justice Council puts goods in a bag and leaves the store without paying.
- You do not know who you are dealing with, I am a judge in the Supreme Court, she said according to the store inspector who caught her.

It was in early February that suspicions of petty theft against the Judiciary became known, and the Special Prosecutor's Office confirmed that a preliminary investigation had been launched.

In connection with this, the Judicial Council terminated its position in the Supreme Court and also relinquished several other positions of trust.
Even when the suspicions became known, the Justice Council's lawyer Johan Eriksson said that she would accept a criminal injunction, but despite that, it took time after the Justice Council repeatedly requested a postponement.
But now the penalty order has been issued.

- It has been sent to her, and either she pays directly and accepts in this way, or she signs and pays at a later date, Per Nichols says to Dagens Juridik.

Penalty injunction issued
Dagens Juridik has taken part in the preliminary investigation, which thus refers to petty theft. It comprises a total of 44 pages.

The two thefts took place on 13 and 17 December last year, in the same grocery store in central Stockholm. On the first occasion, the Justice Council stole goods of an unknown value, but under SEK 1,250, and on the second occasion, goods for SEK 336.

The preliminary investigation shows that on 17 December, the Judicial Council was noticed by a store inspector who saw how she picked up goods, including meatballs, Christmas ham, camembert and prince sausage, in a cloth bag she had brought with her. She then put another bag over the goods.
- I have been working with this for a while and it is a common way to steal goods. The thieves usually do so, says the store inspector in the interrogations.
After that, the Justice Council went to the checkout where she paid 6 kroner for a cabbage head - but not for the goods that were in the cloth bag. When she was about to leave the store, the staff intervened.

"I am a judge of the Supreme Court"
The store inspector brought the Justice Council into the warehouse, waiting for the police to be called.
- You do not know who you are dealing with, I am a judge in the Supreme Court, the Justice Council said then according to the store inspector and also gave him his business card - which is supported by another witness, but denied by the Justice Council.

According to the shop assistant, the Judicial Council then suggested that they could "solve it" by only paying for the goods she had stolen. She has, she said, convicted many of shoplifting - and the only thing that happens is that you get a fine - so it is better that he let her pay and release her.
- She got a little angry when she heard that she was detained and said that she was not, the store inspector says.

The Judiciary itself says in the interrogations that she acknowledges the facts as if she had left the store without paying for the goods. But she denies the crime and denies that she had committed the act intentionally when she was stressed to a meeting.
She says in the interrogation that the goods she forgot to pay for were for an elderly neighbor - but does not want to give the neighbor's name.

Christmas food
The first time she was fined, she was not caught in the store, but it was only later that she could be linked to it through a surveillance film where it is seen how she puts goods in a bag and then goes out without paying for these goods, but pay for a jam and a liter of milk.

The Judicial Council, which has an income of almost 4 million a year, will now pay a 50-day fine of SEK 1,000.
