Bahnhof Internet's CEO point of view on the raid of their servers

We spoke with Jon Karlung the CEO of Bahnhof Internet, the ISP raided by the Swedish police yesterday.

He said that the raid came as a surprise as, apparently, some employees were maintaining the servers. Still there's no proof yet but to be on the safe side the company has suspended the 2 suspect staffers while the police investigation continues. "I feel very sorry for this and in the end it might turn out that they are completely innocent. We do not have any material to respond to yet from the police", Jon said.

"I have very strong principal feelings about the witch hunt now going on", Jon continues while trying to be careful on what to say as some of his employees are under suspicion.


"I cannot argue in a more principal way about it. I can just say that this - no matter what happens - innocent or non innocent comes as a complete blow to us as one of Sweden oldest and independent ISP's. It feels like they have gone after us since we are not a big telco - and we are independent. Maybe we are a more easy target. But since we at this stage can not be completely sure of our own employees I have to be very strict and formal. We take the situation very serious."

Bahnhof also put together an internal investigation and made an internal reorganization to avoid this to happen again.
