The hacking sentence of Gottfrid Svartholm has now been finalized after the Swedish Supreme Court refused to take on the case. This means that the Pirate Bay founder can be extradited to Denmark where he will face trial for similar offenses. Meanwhile, movie studio Yellow Bird has moved to have Gottfrid declared bankrupt, hoping to recoup some of the money he owes in damages for his role in operating the The Pirate Bay.

Earlier this year Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm was found guilty of hacking into IT company Logica and handed a 24 month sentence.

This verdict was later upheld at the Court of Appeal, although Gottfrid’s sentence was decreased from two years to one when it was decided that his involvement in a breach at the Nordea bank could not be proven.

In a final attempt to avert being sent to Denmark to stand trial in a separate case, Gottfrid filed an appeal at the Supreme Court last week. Unfortunately for the 29-year-old, that has now been rejected.

As a result, all obstacles have been removed in respect of an extradition to Denmark, where Gottfrid is accused of hacking into the mainframe of IT company CSC. The Danes successfully requested Gottfrid’s extradition in June but had to wait until the Swedish case was finalized.

Gottfrid’s mother Kristina Svartholm told TorrentFreak that the quick rejection surprised her. The request for appeal was delivered to the Supreme Court on Tuesday and on Friday they heard that a decision was made not to look into it.

The Pirate Bay founder previously sent open letters to both the Swedish and Danish authorities pleading his innocence, but those letters remain unanswered.

Gottfrid is now expected to be handed over to Denmark within a week, where he will face a new trial.

According to Danish authorities, Gottfrid and a co-conspirator used the hack to access thousands of files, including police records on wanted persons in the Schengen registers. The motivation for the hacks remains unknown, but the police say it can’t be ruled out that changes were made to the records.

Commenting on the case, Danish National Police Commissioner Jens Henrik Hojbjerg noted that the security breach was unacceptable.

“The police take this matter very seriously. It is of course totally unacceptable that it has been possible to gain access to police records, despite the very high safety standards that we demand and expect from our IT supplier,” Hojbjerg said.

Gottfrid previously denied his involvement in the Danish hacks and said someone else must have gained access to his machine to carry them out.

In addition to the looming extradition, Gottfrid is once again being confronted with his sentence in The Pirate Bay trial. Movie studio Yellow Bird, one of the plaintiffs who were awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, has requested that Gottfrid should be declared bankrupt in the hope of recouping some of this debt.

Previously Yellow Bird also asked the Stockholm District Court to declare Fredrik Neij bankrupt with the aim of clawing back some funds from the Pirate Bay founder. At the time Neij informed TorrentFreak that there wasn’t much to take.

Considering Gottfrid’s troubled past in Cambodia, it is unlikely that the movie studio will gain much from a bankruptcy.
