The surgeon was notified of the suspicions against him for three cases of causing another's death, gross crime, as well as causing bodily harm, gross crime, and one case of causing bodily harm, gross crime. The surgeries were performed between 2011 and 2013.

The preliminary investigation was discontinued on 12 October 2017. One injured party, and relatives to two other injured parties, who passed away, requested a review. In December 2017, the Prosecution Development Centre started to examine the case with four injured parties.

On Tuesday 11 December, Director of Public Prosecution, Mikael Björk, will make a decision and present it at the press conference.

Either the Director of Public Prosecution shares the Public Prosecutor's assessment that the investigation should remain discontinued. The case closes. Or, the Director of Public Prosecution decides to conduct further investigative measures and resume the preliminary investigation.
