Swedish prosecutors probing people connected to certain investments at Alecta have dropped two counts of so-called aggravated bribery, according to official documents seen by Bloomberg News.

“There is no longer any reason to continue the preliminary investigation,” Prosecutor Johan Lindmark said in the document, citing the two separate counts of bribery. He added there’s now no reason to suspect that a crime falling under general prosecution has been committed.
