Ben Jones of TorrentFreak reports that Swedish prosecutor’s office has refused to investigate allegations of wrongdoing by a Swedish police allegedly on the payroll of a content provider during the course of the criminal investigation.

Pirate Bay is a leading internet file sharing site based in Sweden which is often accused of facilitating the piracy of movies and audio files.  Many content providers such as film studio Warner Bros have sought to use the Swedish legal system to shut down Pirate Bay.  Recently during a criminal investigation Jim Keyzer, the lead investigator revealed that he was working for Warner Bros on a social networking site.

Warner Bros initially denied that the officer was on their payroll during the investigation.  The Pirate Bay filed a criminal complaint for bribery against the officer.   After the complaint was filed Warner Bros admitted that the officer was working for them.  Nonetheless the Swedish prosecutor’s office has refused to investigate and has stated that “[there is] no reason to believe that a crime has been committed by anyone employed by the police.”
