Although police in Uppsala, Sweden, are tight-lipped about the specifics of the fraud and other charges faced by Bo Stefan Eriksson, the former gaming company executive and reputed mobster who became an international media figure when he crashed a $1.5-plus million Ferrari Enzo on Pacific Coast Highway in 2006, they keep Malibu apprised of courtroom proceedings by email.
Chief Inspector Christer Nordström, the spokesperson for the Uppsala County Police in the city where Eriksson is being held, said a third detention hearing was held last week for Eriksson and the two men arrested with him in April. Detention hearings are usually held every two weeks in the Swedish justice system.
Eriksson and one man, Köse Mehmet, are to remain in custody another two weeks. They go before the court again on May 13.
The remaining suspect, Håkan Mattsson, was released from the detention center on April 27.
Nordström’s email reiterated the stock Swedish police response to media inquiries,“While the preliminary investigation is going on, [there is] full secrecy.”
