Swedish Prosecutor Won't Investigate Top Cop's MPAA Ties

Even though he was employed by them during his ENTIRE investigation of the The Pirate Bay BitTorrent tracker site, prosecutor decides to drop the investigation BEFORE it even begins.

A few months back I mentioned how Jim Keyzer, the Chief police investigator in the preliminary investigation against The Pirate Bay, and a key witness in an upcoming trial against the famed BitTorrent tracker site, had been an employee of Warner Bros. during the entire affair!

The Pirate Bay and others rightly objected to the fact that the Chief police investigator had been employed by the very people he was investigating complaints from. With impartiality a key facet for true justice and fairness at trial it would seem a logical conclusion that the Swedish prosecutor would investigate Keyzer's conflict of interest and ensure that not only has none occurred, but that it is prevented from happening in the future.

Well, apparently this is non sequitur for Peter Sunde, one of the The Pirate Bay's founders of course, has written in his blog that he has received word that he will not - I repeat not - investigate Keyzer's connections to Warner Bros. even though he was employed by them during the ENTIRE INVESTIGATION that he is expected to testify about the findings of.

He writes:

They state they there are “no reason to believe that a crime has been committed by anyone employed by the police”. I must point out that they have decided not to start the investigation. They have not closed the investigation since there will not be any.

This is just so fucked up. Justice for… some? He should be put to jail, as a minimum sentence. More information will follow. And yes, we will appeal.

So much for a fair trial.

Stay tuned.
