Stockholms tingsrätt

This guide to Stockholm's district courthouse revisits the summer of 2019, when a street altercation over a pair of broken headphones outside a fast food stand pulled the rapper A$AP Rocky into the Swedish justice system. You'll hear how the case reached the White House and the Swedish prime minister, and how prosecutors argued over what happened to a nineteen-year-old named Mustafa Jafari that night. The granite courthouse, designed decades earlier to echo the castles of the Vasa kings, briefly became the most watched building in the country.
