The trial in the BDX mess is postponed - the former boss is sick

During 21 days, the 8,304-page preliminary investigation into the BDX mess was to be reviewed. The five defendants are suspected of defrauding the company of nearly 90 million.

On Tuesday morning, the dish was ready - but then word came that the former BDX manager was ill. His lawyer Anna Melander submitted a medical certificate on his behalf.

- The doctor's assessment is that, this week, he cannot participate in a trial, says Melander.

"Denying all allegations"

Among other things, he is suspected of having sent over 500 manual orders from BDX, often labeled "Transport", for work that was never or only partially performed.

- He denies all accusations. There are no false orders issued, says Melander

There was a debate in court about whether the suspect needed to be present during the prosecutor's statement or receive the information afterwards.

- BDX's firm opinion is that we should start the main negotiation, said Kristoffer Ståhl, BDX's representative, in court.

But after a deliberation, the court decided to postpone it.

- We call everyone to the same adventure on Tuesday, November 3, said judge Benny Wernqvist.
