Sweden's prosecution authority said Monday it had closed an investigation into Dutch Eurovision contestant Joost Klein, who was excluded from the contest's final following an incident with a camerawoman.

A female member of the production crew filed a police complaint against Joost accusing him of making “threatening” moves toward her following his May 9 semi-final performance.

The Swedish prosecutor said he had closed the case due to lack of evidence.

“I have closed the investigation today because I cannot prove that the action was aimed at provoking serious fear or that there was any such intent,” senior prosecutor Fredrik Jonsson said in a statement.

Switzerland’s Nemo and the song “The Code” went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest, becoming the first artist identifying as non-binary to claim victory, in a competition that was otherwise marked by controversy over Israel’s participation during the war in Gaza.

    1. I don’t comment in the majority of your posts on Israel / Gaza.
    2. I only come across Israel / Gaza posts from you. It’s possible you post about other things in magazines (communities) I don’t subscribe to. I just looked at a couple of your meme posts. They were also about Israel.
