The Local - Neo-Nazi faces damages claims "worth millions"

A Swedish neo-Nazi could face a damages bill running into millions of kronor for keeping a secret list of the political beliefs, race and sexual orientation of over a thousand people. A court in Helsingborg awarded damages of 10,000 kronor on Wednesday to one of the people on the list. The ruling is being seen as a test case, and sets a precedent for the way courts will deal with complaints from other people on the list. The 27-year old, whose name has not yet been revealed, has already been convicted for breaking Swedish laws on privacy and data protection. He was found to have been keeping a list with names, telephone numbers and photos of 1,247 people. People were categorised as “Jewish”, “nigger” or “paedophile”. (...) The list was found when police were investigating the murder of union representative Björn Söderberg in 2000. It was saved on the computer of neo-Nazi Hampus Hellkant, one of those later convicted for the killing. The trail then led police to two other extreme right-wingers, including the 27-year old.
