The measure of summoning is possible in Sweden and can be used during the pretrial investigation or before the court.
A summoning issued to a witness, victim or suspect during the pretrial investigation obliges him or her to appear to an interrogation at the Police Authority. The person who is to be heard during the preliminary investigation may, under penalty of a fine, be summoned to appear at the interrogation, if it is appropriate taking into account the circumstances if the individual case. A minor would be summoned through its parents or custodian or a special lawyer/representative for children.
A summons issued to a witness, victim or accused before the court obliges him or her to appear to an interrogation during the trial. The court can decide that a witness, victim or accused shall be summoned under penalty of a fine. A minor would be summoned through its parents or custodian or a special lawyer/representative for children.
