On Monday, the Court of Appeal proceedings began in the case of the two ex-lawyers “The Prince” and “The King”. In After five, legal expert Jens Lapidus tells the background behind the case. – When I was active as a lawyer, you didn’t see much of Ekrem, he was quite a junior then and you didn’t see him as one of the stars right away, says Jens Lapidus and continues “but during the years I’ve been away, he has risen in the sky and received the very, very heaviest criminal cases.” Revealed through Encrochat It was when Swedish police gained access to the encrypted communication service Encrochat – that it was revealed that two lawyers communicated with gang criminals. Among other things from the Vårby network. In the chats, the lawyers were called “The King” and “The Prince” and are said to have leaked secret information there. Something that led to them being excluded from the bar association last year. Later, they were also charged with a series of crimes connected to this – and in July this year the verdict came. The Södertörn district court then sentenced Ekrem Güngör, “the king”, to six years in prison for preparation for murder. In addition, the “prince” Amir Amdouni was sentenced to four years in prison for aiding and abetting a particularly serious drug crime and a violation of the ban on smoking.
