Sweden Herald - Latest Sweden News | Background: The twists surrounding Birgitte Bonnesen by Sweden Herald AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Birgitte Bonnesen, the former CEO of Swedbank, has been acquitted by the Supreme Court after a tumultuous legal saga that began with a district‑court acquittal, followed by a Svea Court of Appeal conviction in September 2023 that sentenced her to one year and three months for aggravated fraud. The appellate court had found that Bonnesen gave misleading statements in 2018 interviews with Svenska Dagbladet and TT, suggesting the bank had no suspected money‑laundering links to Danske Bank’s Estonian operations—a claim that could have distorted assessments of Swedbank’s financial health. Bonnesen, who denied any wrongdoing and was forced to resign in March 2019, saw the bank later fined four billion kronor by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority for serious anti‑money‑laundering failures in the Baltics. The Supreme Court’s reversal ends the legal proceedings surrounding her case.

undefined | A year after 'Liberation Day,' Trump's tariffs are hurting small businesses by Andrew Schneider A year after President Trump’s “Liberation Day” executive order imposed emergency tariffs on many of the United States’ biggest trading partners, small‑business owners across the country report that the steep duties are eroding profits and forcing them to raise prices. An analysis by the advocacy group We Pay the Tariffs shows the tariffs cost American firms about $151 billion in the year ending February 2025. Although the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and ordered refunds, the administration has yet to issue any, and new tariffs on steel, aluminum and pharmaceuticals have already been added. The impact is vivid in Houston’s Misfit Toys, a vintage‑toy shop that now has to pay dramatically higher costs for new, movie‑linked items that once sold for $25 but now cost $40‑$45. With big‑box retailers able to absorb the extra expense, the store is shifting to more collectible vintage pieces, yet its gross sales have risen while profits have fallen. Similar pressures affect other small firms: Houghton Horns in Fort Worth, Texas, now raises instrument prices by about 20 percent and strips accessories to cover roughly 40 percent tariff rates, while Montana‑based FLATED, which imports PVC‑fabricated truck accessories from Vietnam, says onshoring is financially out of reach and that even domestically produced goods would still incur duties on imported raw materials. Because the tariffs are uncertain and can change without warning, many small businesses face hesitant customers and longer lead times. Federal Reserve economist Luis Torres notes the tariffs have driven up selling prices, squeezed margins and created a climate of uncertainty. Business owners such as Misfit Toys’ Daniel Rivera and FLATED CEO Ryan Guay express little hope that the promised refunds will ever arrive, and they warn that further tariff hikes could stall any plans for expansion or new product lines, leaving mom‑and‑pop shops scrambling to survive under a policy they view as both illegal and ineffective.

English – The Conversation | South African court orders Eskom to disclose R70 billion coal and diesel contracts – why the ruling matters by Felix Dube, Lecturer in the Department of Public Law, University of Venda South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal recently ruled that the country’s state-owned electricity utility Eskom must disclose its contracts with coal and diesel suppliers. This is a major victory for transparency in a sector that has long been marked by secrecy, financial instability and weak public trust. Eskom generates about 90% of the country’s electricity, mainly through burning coal that it buys from South Africa’s coal mines. Eskom spends R70 billion (US$4.16 billion) a year on coal and its transport alone but until now, its contracts with the mines have been kept hidden. Why Eskom lost the court case Why the ruling matters beyond this case What the judgment changes, and what it does not Read more: https://theconversation.com/south-african-court-orders-eskom-to-disclose-r70-billion-coal-and-diesel-contracts-why-the-ruling-matters-279527 #supremecourt #eskom #afriforum #southafrica

Even though the #SupremeCourt ruled against Trump concerning #tariffs, Donald Trump has a backup plan, as this #PoliticalCartoon by Bill Bramhall shows:

"Winners (& Losers) of SCOTUS Decision Striking Down #Tariffs": https://ritholtz.com/2026/02/winners-losers-scotus-ieepa/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter The #SupremeCourt has "been mired in a kickback/gifts to sitting justices scandal; the lack of a standing, enforceable set of ethics rules is a disgraceful embarrassment. But the bigger issue has been a series of unconscionable and undefendable decisions." copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org #politics

@cstross@wandering.shop @ViennaMike@mastodon.social @ireneista@adhd.irenes.space As a #PublicPolicy wonk I'm already remembering how different our common law legal systems have become in just three centuries. Over here they're still worried about the anti-porn #Censorship case where the #SupremeCourt refused to define what they were censoring. They famously said, "I know it when I see it," grumble grumble prurient use in commerce, harrumph typical opinion of ordinary firmness, followed by thirty years of chipping off corners without admitting they were sort of making shit up.
