"The public prosecutor has decided not to conduct a preliminary investigation against FRA for breach of electronic 
communication legislation.
FRA was reported to the police following a Sveriges Television news broadcast on June 16th.

The office of the public prosecutor (Åklagarmyndigheten) has decided not to follow up the police report against the 
Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA) as it considers there to be no case.

"To access electronic radio communication broadcast on the airwaves can not be considered a breach of the law on 
electronic communication,"
said Agnetha Hilding Qvarnström at the prosecutor's office in her decision which came already on July 10th.

FRA was reported to the police by a private individual following a a broadcast on Sveriges Television's (SVT) new 
program Rapport on June 16th."
