The organiser of an illegal road race now denies that a police car took part. A film published on the tabloid newspaper Expressen's website had showed a police car pull up alongside another car before both cars power away at high speed.
The officers involved are being investigated by the police and by a prosecutor, but the race organiser now says to tabloid Aftonbladet that he leaked the details to Expressen in order to get revenge at the police for what he sees as past mistreatment from the law.
