Re: Wikileaks, Sex and Afghanistan (4.00 / 2)

It's more of a 'hearing' or interview that takes place in the process of evidence collecting. After a suspect has been charged (and legally represented), further interviews might then be called interrogation.

Sweden operates under Scandinavian Civil Law ... about which I know nothing.

Apparently, then, the prosecutor has an active role during the investigation?

I'm not sure about the role of a Swedish prosecutor. But the info is in here somewhere.

Re: Wikileaks, Sex and Afghanistan (none / 0)

Yes. If for no other reason then because the prosecutor has to show up in court and present the police's case for why they want to continue to detain the suspect(s) beyond N hours (with N being 6 in Sweden to 24 in Denmark). I gather that Swedish prosecutors also function as the formal head of investigations, but I'm unclear as to the details.

N (none / 0)

I'm not sure, but I think N is 72 hours in Finland - depending on the seriousness of the potential charge measured by the maximum length of potential imprisonment.
