Sweden drops a probe into Joost Klein, Eurovision contestant who was expelled hours before the final

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Sweden has dropped its investigation into a backstage altercation in May involving a Dutch contestant in the Eurovision Song Contest who was expelled from the competition hours before the final. The Swedish Prosecution Authority says it can’t prove that Joost Klein hit the camera the woman was operating with intent or “was capable of causing serious fear.” The last-minute disqualification of fan favorite Klein was unprecedented in the 68-year history of Eurovision. Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS at the time said it was “shocked by the decision.”
