Case: Ö 5165-23 and Ö 3711-23

"Prosecutorial Disqualification"

A prosecutor who had been the lead investigator in a criminal case was deemed to be disqualified in view of her previous work at a law firm where a lawyer, both during the time the prosecutor worked at the firm and later during the criminal proceedings, represented one of the injured parties. Relief for a substantive defect was granted as it was not plain that the disqualification did not affect the outcome of the case.
