Interesting that he's named personally. Can any Swedish person explain whether this is the normal process?

I am not familiar with the legal system in Sweden, but it seems odd that it would be a police report instead of a lawsuit.

I know nothing about Swedish law, but in the US, there can be both civil and criminal fraud. They might be planning to file a lawsuit also.

Fraud is usually a crime and therefore a matter for the police, even in the US.

I don’t think there’s a story here, it’s a police report, not even a lawsuit.

There’s no skin in the game required when filing a police report.

It's not going to be a lawsuit. You don't sue companies for breaking the law in Sweden. It's going to be a criminal case if police deem so.

I'm pretty sure the publishers are alleging that a crime has been committed. In that case, private parties can't open a suit (at least if Swedish criminal law is at all similar to Norwegian law), so this asks the police to open a criminal investigation into the matter. What happens next in the Norwegian system at least is that the police will conduct their investigation, and at some point when the police consider their investigations complete the prosecutor's office will decide what to do next. Next steps can be concluding that no crime has occured, to ask the police to investigate further, that a crime has been committed but the evidence are insufficient for a trial, or that someone should be tried.

This should be just the begging as Social Media companies will not be able to just declare themselves over the law on fraud claims.
