Förundersökningen om dödsolyckan på Northvolt har skickats till de misstänktas försvarare. Ett beslut om åtal väntas tidigast i höst, enligt åklagaren.

Förundersökningen av dödsolyckan på batterifabriken Northvolt i Skellefteå har nu skickats till de två misstänktas försvarare. Misstankarna gäller arbetsmiljöbrott med vållande till annans död efter en explosion på fabriken 2023.

Åklagare Christer B Jarlås uppger att ett beslut i åtalsfrågan kan komma tidigast i höst. Han säger att man nu väntar på eventuella kompletteringar från försvararna, vilket troligen dröjer efter semestrarna.

Jarlås avvisar argument om att den tidigare vd:n Peter Carlsson skulle ha suttit för högt upp i organisationen. Han menar att Carlsson varit närvarande i arbetet på golvet. Även en annan chef på Northvolt är misstänkt i ärendet.
