It seems the officer in charge of the raid on PRQ where the pirate bay is hosted has been rewarded for his services.
http://torrentfreak.com/chief-investigator-pirate-bay-employed-by-plaintiff-080418/Police officer Jim Keyzer, the leader and key witness in the Pirate Bay investigation was recently employed by Warner Bros, one of the plaintiffs in the on going case against the Pirate Bay four. Undoubtedly, this will seriously hurt the credibility of the ongoing court case.
Kopit.se found out yesterday -through the police officer’s facebook profile- that Keyzer was recently employed by Warner Bros, one of the plaintiffs in the prosecution against The Pirate Bay. Keyzer has deleted his facebook profile, but confirmed that he indeed works for the company now.
Pirate Bay’s Peter Sunde (brokep) stated: “He [Keyzer] confirmed that he is an employee there and we can’t see it in any other way than this being the reward for a work well done from the new employer of the police, the entertainment industry”
“This is pure, classic corruption,” says Rickard Falkvinge leader of the Swedish pirate party. “Big companies from foreign nations trying to affect the outcome in a Swedish Court of Justice with straightforward bribes. Now the copyright lobby is showing its true face”
This does seem rather suspicious when you remember the officer involved will be called to give evidence at some stage this year, at the least this is a lapse of judgement on his part in taking up his present position while being aware it could compromise the police "case".
