The officer had signed the wiretap clearance without checking that the details were correct.
“Due to an error in a police memo the wrong telephone number was bugged for several hours on November 7th 2008,” the Police Authority in Skåne explains in a written decision.
The prosecutor determined that no crime had been committed, and Skåne police decided that they are satisfied for the police officer’s superiors to have a conversation with the officer explaining the importance of quality controlling the details in a request concerning coercive powers.
“There are no grounds for taking disciplinary action,” according to the decision.
