Friday, 15.vii Teleborian’s appearance inspired confidence as he sat in the witness box in the courtroom on Friday morning. He was questioned by Prosecutor1 Ekstr?m for some ninety minutes and he replied with calm authority to every question. The expression on his face was sometimes concerned and sometimes amused. “To sum up …” Ekstr?m said, leafing through his sheaf of papers. “It is your judgement as a psychiatrist2 of long standing3 that Lisbeth Salander suffers from paranoid schizophrenia?” “I have said that it is unusually difficult to make a precise evaluation4 of her condition. The patient is, as you know, almost autistic in her relation to doctors and other figures of authority. My assessment5 is that she suffers from a serious mental disorder6, but that at the present time I cannot give an exact diagnosis7. Nor can I determine what stage of the psychosis she is in without more extensive study.” “At any rate, you don’t consider her to be sane8.” “Indeed her entire history presents most compelling proof that she is not sane.” “You have been allowed to read what Lisbeth Salander has termed her ‘autobiography9’, which she has presented to the district court. What are your comments on this?” Teleborian threw up his hands and shrugged10. “How would you judge the credibility of her account?” “There is no credibility. It is a series of assertions about various individuals, one story more fantastical than the other. Taken as a whole, her written explanation confirms our suspicions that she suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.” “Could you give an instance?” “The most obvious is of course the description of the alleged11 rape12 by her guardian13 Advokat Bjurman.” “Could you expand on that?” “The description is extremely detailed14. It is a classic example of the sort of grotesque15 fantasy that children are capable of. There are plenty of parallel examples from familial incest cases in which the child gives an account which falls through due to its utter improbability, and for which there is no forensic16 evidence. These are erotic fantasies which even children of a very young age can have … Almost as if they were watching a horror film on television.” “But Lisbeth Salander is not a child, she is a grown woman,” Ekstr?m said. “That is correct. Although it remains17 to be seen exactly what her mental level may be. But basically you are correct. She is a grown woman, and presumably she believes in the account she has presented.” “So you’re saying it is all lies.” “No. If she believes what she says, then it is not a lie. It’s a story which shows that she cannot distinguish fantasy from reality.” “So she was not raped18 by Advokat Bjurman?” “No. There is no likelihood of that at all. She needs expert care.” “You yourself appear in Lisbeth Salander’s account—” “Yes, and that is rather intriguing19. But once again, it’s a figment of her imagination. If we are to believe the poor girl, then I’m something approximate to a paedophile …” He smiled and continued. “But this is all just another expression of what I was speaking of before. In Salander’s autobiography we are told that she was abused by being placed in restraints for long spells at St Stefan’s. And that I came to her room at night … This is a classic manifestation20 of her inability to interpret reality, or rather, she is giving reality her own interpretation21.” “Thank you. I leave it to the defence, if Fru Giannini has any questions.” Since Giannini had not had any questions or objections on the first two days of the trial, those in the courtroom expected that she would once again ask some obligatory22 questions and then bring the questioning to an end. This really is an embarrassingly deficient23 effort by the defence, Ekstr?m thought. “Yes, I do,” Giannini said. “I do in fact have a number of questions, and they may take some time. It’s 11.30 now. May I propose that we break for lunch, and that I be allowed to carry out my cross-examination of the witness after lunch without interval24?” Judge Iversen agreed that the court should adjourn25 for lunch. * Andersson was accompanied by two uniformed officers when he placed his huge hand on Superintendent26 Nystr?m’s shoulder outside the M?ster Anders restaurant on Hantverkargatan at noon precisely27. Nystr?m looked up in amazement28 at the man who was shoving his police I.D. right under his nose. “Hello. You’re under arrest, suspected of being an accessory to murder and attempted murder. The charges will be explained to you by the Prosecutor General at a hearing this afternoon. I suggest that you come along peacefully,” he said. Nystr?m did not seem to comprehend the language Andersson was speaking in, but he could see that he was a man you went along with without protest. Inspector29 Bublanski was accompanied by Modig and seven uniformed officers when Stefan Bladh of the Constitutional Protection Unit admitted them at noon precisely into the locked section that comprised the domain30 of the Security Police at Kungsholmen. They walked through the corridors behind Bladh until he stopped and pointed31 at an office door. The chief of Secretariat’s assistant looked up and was utterly32 perplexed33 when Bublanski held up his I.D. “Kindly remain where you are. This is a police action.” He strode to the inner door. Chief of Secretariat Albert was on the telephone. “What is this interruption?” Shenke said. “I am Criminal Inspector Jan Bublanski. You are under arrest for violation34 of the Swedish constitution. There is a long list of specific points in the charge, all of which will be explained to you this afternoon.” “This is outrageous,” Shenke said. “It most certainly is,” Bublanski said. He had Shenke’s office sealed and then placed two officers on guard outside the door, with instructions to let no-one cross the threshold. They had permission to use their batons35 and even draw their service weapons if anyone tried to enter the sealed office by force. They continued their procession down the corridor until Bladh pointed to another door, and the procedure was repeated with chief of Budget, Gustav Atterbom. * Inspector Holmberg had the S?dermalm armed response team as backup when at exactly noon he knocked on the door of an office rented temporarily on the fourth floor just across the street from Millennium’s offices on G?tgatan. Since no-one opened the door, Holmberg ordered the S?dermalm police to force the lock, but the door was opened a crack before the crowbar was used. “Police,” Holmberg said. “Come out with your hands up.” “I’m a policeman myself,” Inspector M?rtensson said. “I know. And you have licences for a great many guns.” “Yes, well … I’m an officer on assignment.” “I think not,” Holmberg said. He accepted the assistance of his colleagues in propping36 M?rtensson against the wall so he could confiscate37 his service weapon. “You are under arrest for illegal telephone tapping, gross dereliction of duty, repeated break-ins at Mikael Blomkvist’s apartment on Bellmansgatan, and additional counts. Handcuff him.” Holmberg took a swift look around the room and saw that there was enough electronic equipment to furnish a recording38 studio. He detailed an officer to guard the premises39, but told him to sit still on a chair so he would not leave any fingerprints40. As M?rtensson was being led through the front door of the building, Cortez took a series of twenty-two photographs with his Nikon. He was, of course, no professional photographer, and the quality left something to be desired. But the best images were sold the next day to an evening newspaper for an obscene sum of money. Figuerola was the only police officer participating in the day’s raids who encountered an unexpected incident. She had back-up from the Norrmalm team and three colleagues from S.I.S. when at noon she walked through the front door of the building on Artillerigatan and went up the stairs to the top-floor apartment, registered in the name of Bellona Inc. The operation had been planned at short notice. As soon as the group was assembled outside the door of the apartment, she gave the go-ahead. Two burly officers from the Norrmalm team raised a forty-kilo steel battering41 ram42 and opened the door with two well-aimed blows. The team, equipped with bulletproof vests and assault rifles, took control of the apartment within ten seconds of the door being forced. According to surveillance carried out at dawn that morning, five individuals identified as members of the Section had arrived at the apartment that morning. All five were apprehended44 and put in handcuffs. Figuerola was wearing a protective vest. She went through the apartment, which had been the headquarters of the Section since the ’60s, and flung open one door after another. She was going to need an archaeologist to sort through the reams and reams of paper that filled the rooms. A few seconds after she entered the apartment, she opened the door to a small room towards the back and discovered that it was used for overnight stays. She found herself eye to eye with Jonas Sandberg. He had been a question mark during that morning’s assignment of tasks, as the surveillance officer detailed to watch him had lost track of him the evening before. His car had been parked on Kungsholmen and he had not been home to his apartment during the night. This morning they had not expected to locate and apprehend43 him. They man the place at night for security reasons. Of course. And Sandberg sleeps over after the night shift. Sandberg had on only his underpants and seemed to be dazed with sleep. He reached for his service weapon on the bedside table, but Figuerola bent45 over and swept the weapon away from him on to the floor. “Jonas Sandberg … you are under arrest as a suspect and accessory to the murders of Gunnar Bj?rck and Alexander Zalachenko, and as an accomplice46 in the attempted murders of Mikael Blomkvist and Erika Berger. Now get your trousers on.” Sandberg threw a punch at Figuerola. She blocked it instinctively47. “You must be joking,” she said. She took hold of his arm and twisted his wrist so hard that he was forced backwards48 to the floor. She flipped49 him over on to his stomach and put her knee in the small of his back. She handcuffed him herself. It was the first time she had used handcuffs on an assignment since she began at S.I.S. She handed Sandberg over to one of the back-up team and continued her passage through the apartment until she opened the last door at the very back. According to the blueprints50, this was a small cubbyhole looking out on to the courtyard. She stopped in the doorway51 and looked at the most emaciated52 figure she had ever seen. She did not for one second doubt that here was a person who was mortally ill. “Fredrik Clinton, you are under arrest as an accomplice to murder, attempted murder, and for a long list of further crimes,” she said. “Stay where you are in bed. We’ve called an ambulance to take you to Kungsholmen.” Malm was stationed immediately outside the building on Artillerigatan. Unlike Cortez, he knew how to handle his digital Nikon. He used a short telephoto lens and the pictures he took were of excellent quality. They showed the members of the Section, one by one, being led out through the front door and down to the police cars. And finally the ambulance that arrived to pick up Clinton. His eyes were fixed53 on the lens as the shutter54 clicked. Clinton looked nervous and confused. The photograph later won the Picture of the Year award.
