"CoMplEtLy tRuE "

it's written in plain text in the law, that the important thing isn't the level of truth but in what context it's said

for example when one of our politicians Ebba Busch Thor had some conflict with a guy about a property, she mentioned that his representative had been previously sentenced.
that fact is completely true, but because she said it in a way to defame his character, she was found guilty of libel/defamation

quote from her when she admitted guilt later: "In Sweden, truth can also be slander, but here Swedish law applies and that is what I relate to, says Ebba Busch."
