Denial

Joost Klein did not threaten anyone during the incident after the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. This is what his lawyer Jan-Ake Fält said to the Swedish broadcaster SVT. According to the lawyer, the singer denies having committed any criminal offences.

Klein was disqualified from the final of the Eurovision Song Contest last weekend due to an incident with a camerawoman. “As I understand it, there was an agreement between him and the organization,” the lawyer explains. “Because it is a sensitive moment for him, he would not be filmed leaving the stage. He would be met by his team, but still the camerawoman was there.”

According to the lawyer, Klein asked her to stop filming, which she did not do. “Then he pushed the camera, but he denies threatening her.”

The lawyer tells ANP that Klein is having a hard time with the situation. “He of course feels completely distraught by everything that has happened. And rightly so, because it has been completely taken out of context. Of course he is sad that he was not allowed to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest as a result.”

According to SVT, the case should occur in Sweden at the beginning of June. The police use a faster procedure for the investigation, because there is enough evidence. So he will hear within a few weeks whether he will be prosecuted or not. Source: nu.nl
