After the arrest of Leiv-Ivan Karlsson, Malin Svanholm, municipal councilor in Kramfors, was hopeful that demands for a fine can be served and the 'Baltic Star' is moved from Lunde In December, the owner of the ship was fined SEK 200,000 a month if it was not moved. But for the fine to take effect, it was necessary that Leif-Ivan Karlsson be served with the decision, something that could not happen as he was abroad until Easter. During Easter, Karlsson was arrested by the police at his home and served with suspicion of gross misconduct against a creditor, grossly aggravating bankruptcy and gross accounting offences. These financial crimes have taken place between 2019 and 2021. On April 4, he was requested to be detained. What this means for the ongoing dispute with Kramfors municipality is unclear, but Malin Svanholm in any case htought that it was good that something changes in the case. The Prosecutor's Office stated that the suspicions that were now being directed at Leif-Ivan Karlsson are not about the so-called "Think Pink gang" that concerns serious environmental crimes. Nor does it apply to operations outside of Stockholm, and therefore not to the 'Baltic Star' either.
