Swedish ex-ambassador acquitted in China case

A court in Stockholm has acquitted Sweden’s former ambassador to China of exceeding her authority in negotiations with a foreign country. The charge resulted from a January 2019 meeting in Stockholm that Lindstedt brokered between the daughter of a Swedish publisher detained in China and two Chinese businessmen with links to China’s Communist Party about the publisher’s possible release.
