Sweden said that officials cannot intervene in the case of American rapper A$AP Rocky, after President Donald Trump ratcheted up the pressure on the Scandanavian country, calling on Prime Minister Stefan Lofven to free him.
“Prime Minister Stefan Löfven have explained [sic] and emphasized the complete independence of the Swedish judicial system, prosecutors and courts. In Sweden, everyone is equal before the law. The Government is not allowed, and will not attempt, to influence legal proceedings,” Karin Olofsdotter, the Swedish ambassador to the United States, said in a statement.
