Wiretaps reveal leak in Örebro mosque murder trial

New secret wiretaps have become crucial evidence in the trial over the Örebro mosque murder. The recordings also reveal that sensitive investigation details leaked to the suspects early on. Prosecutor Mats Ihlbom acknowledges that information may have seeped out.

During the ongoing trial for the murder at the Örebro mosque, prosecutors have presented new evidence. It consists of secret room wiretaps from a separate investigation, for which police had permission to monitor an apartment.

The late-arriving recordings have proven crucial. They capture gang talk confirming the suspects' actions but also expose a leak of sensitive investigation details to the suspects early in the process.

Prosecutor Mats Ihlbom stated: “It may be that information has seeped out that we haven't been able to control.”

The evidence bolsters the prosecution's case while raising questions about the investigation's security.
