So does the fact that the prosecution has asked for detention and that the district court agrees with the need for this, says Berg. The police keep their cards close to their chest. – At the present time, we are not releasing more information about the accused, says Berg. She does not rule out that more people may be arrested in the case. – Right now we have to keep all possibilities open. For that reason, we cannot rule out that there will be more arrests in the future, says Berg. – Disagrees with the charges Lawyer Roy Arteid is defending one of the men. Defender Roy Arteid.
