Prosecutor discontinues investigation against Richard Jomshof over anti-Islam drawings in Sweden

Wednesday 25th September 2024 on 10:04 in Sweden

Chief Prosecutor Joakim Zander has decided to discontinue the preliminary investigation against Richard Jomshof, a politician from the Sweden Democrats (SD). Zander stated that the rationale behind this decision is that sharing the images in question did not constitute a criminal act.

Jomshof was reported to the police after he posted two anti-Islam satirical drawings on the social media platform X. Following the allegations of incitement against a particular group, he temporarily stepped down from his position as the chairman of the parliamentary justice committee.

The situation has garnered significant attention, and media outlets are attempting to reach out to Jomshof for comments.
