Two people have so far been charged after the Easter coup in Landskrona in mid-April earlier this year. Last in line is now the indictment against a 16-year-old boy who is suspected of crimes in connection with the riots, reports P4 Malmöhus.

The unrest broke out in Easter when the far-right politician Rasmus Paludan, who has become famous for his Koran burnings, visited – or planned to visit – Örebro, Linköping, Norrköping, Landskrona, Malmö and the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby. It was followed by violent riots with vandalism and violence mainly directed at the police.

Earlier, a 17-year-old boy was charged with violent riot in connection with the riot in Landskrona.
