One of the alleged Pirate Bay crew members arrested a week ago has been released from custody. The man remains a suspect in a new Pirate Bay investigation, and prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad believes that this could eventually lead to new hearings.

A week ago The Pirate Bay was pulled offline with a single raid at the Nacka station, a nuclear-proof data center built into a mountain complex.

Despite the rise of various TPB copycats and rumors of reincarnations, the Pirate Bay crew hasn’t made its mind up about a possible comeback.

“Will we reboot? We don’t know yet. But if and when we do, it’ll be with a bang,” Pirate Bay’s Mr 10100100000 told TF yesterday.

In addition to police seizing some of Pirate Bay’s crucial infrastructure, last Tuesday authorities also arrested one individual with alleged ties to the notorious torrent site.

After being held in custody for nearly a week, the Pirate Bay suspect was released from custody yesterday, pending an ongoing investigation.

The suspect is believed to be one of the moderators of the site, but this hasn’t been confirmed by the police. Expert file-sharing case prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad did state that the man was suspected of copyright violations.

“The suspicions relate to a violation of copyright law. Everything is being analyzed now and new hearings may possibly be held,” Ingblad said.

The prosecutor’s comments also make it clear that there’s a new investigation into the people behind The Pirate Bay.

The data seized in the raid will first be examined by the authorities. Paul Pintér, National coordinator for intellectual property crimes, told NyTeknik that there is a lot of information to go through, so it may take some time before the investigation completes.

In recent days TF has received evidence that Fredrik Neij, who is currently serving a 10 month sentence from the previous trial, remains a Pirate Bay suspect. Neij was arrested by Thai immigration authorities last month when he tried to cross the border from Laos.

How many people the police are investigating in the new case and whether there will be a fresh trial is unknown at this point.
