ASAP Rocky has to remain in custody, a Swedish court decided today. According to DN.se, the court considers him a flight risk. Meanwhile, Sweden’s top prosecutor and general secretary of the Swedish Bar Association, Anne Ramberg, came out to say that this would not have happened if Rocky had been Swedish. In another meanwhile, the people accusing Rocky of assault are now also being investigated. And back in the US, the Swedish ambassador to the United States, Karin Olofsdotter, has gone public on TMZ.com to say that coming to Sweden is really “perfectly safe” and that “people are more than welcome” to visit.
The wheels of justice grind slowly sometimes, but this needs to be cleared up. Sweden is regularly criticised by the United Nations for the long time someone can be held without being formally charged (we’re talking really, really long times). As great as it would be if this were the case that got Sweden to seriously look at this issue, it’s still not likely. Change on this issue would make the wheels of justice look zippy.
