Torgny Jönsson, who in the press called Maffian's banker, was released from custody where he has been for a year and a half. He is still suspected of gross economic crime for which he used a company with a distribution address in Lund.

It's the court of appeal that decided the release Tuesday.

"We are pleased and relieved that the court of appeal has made this decision, and I have been in detention for a very long time, perhaps even the longest detention for robbery," said Mattias Gilborne Augustson. One of the two lawyers of Torgny Jönsson.

In the media, Torgny Jönsson was personified by the Maffian Banker after cooperating with gang leaders from the MC and other criminal groups. In 2009, he was sentenced for serious fraud to seven years in prison. He then trapped investors around 116 million.

Torgny Jönsson has been arrested since last March. The decision on detention was repeatedly appealed on the grounds that the investigation took too long. He was put to bed because the court of appeal is of the opinion that the length of detention is not proportional to the alleged crimes.

Torgny Jönsson is still suspected of gross fraud and accounting and can not leave Skåne. He had to leave his passport and report twice a week to the police.

It is suspected that he should have been involved in fraud involving deceptive individuals in order to make investments generating significant returns in the future. As part of a search warrant conducted last year in Malmö to find one of the suspects, a larger seizure of weapons was carried out. Many of the suspects reside in Malmö.

Torgny Jönsson himself says that he is innocent.

– These stores have been around. The commitments that were made were made both for me and for the goalkeepers. If anyone was misled in this case, it also applies to me, said Torgny Jönsson in Aftonbladet after the release of the release.

Defense lawyer, Mattias Gilborne Augustson, believes that Torgny Jönsson will not be prosecuted, but much remains to be done before the end of the investigation.

"If the investigation reveals anything that has happened, it will turn out that Torgny has not committed those crimes of which he is now suspected." The time spent in the investigation lasts for many, many months, he says.

Prosecutor Ulrika Åberg can not say when charges could be brought against Torgny Jönsson.

"We have some actions abroad to implement before we can prosecute this person.It is impossible to say when there could be a lawsuit," she told Göteborgsposten.
