According to the release info the documents were released by the ‘Keyzer Defender’ and were obtained from Keyzer’s girlfriend’s Hotmail account. “These attachments are taken from mails in the Hotmail account belonging to Jim Keyzer’s girlfriend. Also included are login credentials and some of Jim’s passwords,” it reads.

Keyzer has contacted the Pirate Bay team and said that he found it unfortunate that his girlfriend was hacked because of his involvement with The Pirate Bay case. He did not ask for the torrent to be removed, which shows that he learned at least one thing during the investigation.

Keyzer became the subject of some controversy when he started working for Warner Bros. before the Pirate Bay investigation was closed. After a short stay at the movie company Keyzer terminated his leave of absence, and returned to the IT Crime Unit in Stockholm.

The Pirate Bay crew were not amused by Keyzer’s dual role, and filed a complaint with the police. The police looked into the case briefly but decided not to investigate it because there was “no reason to believe that a crime has been committed by anyone employed by the police.”

During the Pirate Bay trial Keyzer inexplicably disappeared but now weeks later, his girlfriend appears to have been dragged into the dispute. The Pirate Bay certainly provokes a certain passion in their fanbase, and some are clearly prepared to go to extreme lengths to show that their beloved site is not to be messed with.

Soon after the news got out it became clear that Keyzer had started working for the movie studio before the Pirate Bay investigation was closed. Warner denied this initially, and stated that the investigator was not employed or paid by the movie studio while he was still working on the case.

However, after The Pirate Bay crew filed criminal complaints for bribery of a police officer, Warner suddenly admitted he was working for them.

Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde was convinced that they had a strong case, as he said: “He [Keyzer] confirmed that he is an employee there [Warner Bros'] and we can’t see it in any other way than this being the reward for work well done from the new employer of the police, the entertainment industry”

However, in a letter received today by Peter Sunde, Kay Engfeldt of the prosecutors department states that there will be no investigation into Jim Keyzer. “[there is] no reason to believe that a crime has been committed by anyone employed by the police.”

Of course, until you investigate, you won’t find any evidence. That’s why in general allegations are investigated first, especially when there is evidence to back up the claim. Sunde told TorrentFreak that they would be filing an appeal on Monday.

In the meantime, they’re working on a datacenter move for their secondary sites, which had left services like Bayimg unavailable for a time.
