The driver must have really pissed off the wrong person big time. I doesn't make sense why you can't get the car out of impound? I would like to read the whole story why this car was crushed. Just makes no sense.

Here is a Google translated newpaper article about it (the 300 000 is not supposed to be dollars).

A 300,000-dollar Mustang used for street race has been forfeited from the owner.
The Södertörn District Court has decided.
Now the spectacular car is likely to be scrapped - but the owner can not be linked to any crime.
It writes Mitt in Stockholm.

The background to the unique case is that the police have long had difficulty accessing the illegal street races that are common in the Stockholm area.

The drivers and cars can disappear before the police arrive.

Therefore, in an attempt to stop the street race, the prosecutor and the police have jointly run this pilot case in the district court where one would have the confiscated Mustang forfeited.

The occupation was based on the car being used in serious traffic crimes, but without any person being charged with crime.

With the judgment going on the prosecutor's line, the car will come to the state. And probably scrapped, according to Johan Siverland at the Huddinge police. This because he had difficulty finding that a crime tool - as the Mustang is considered - could be sold further.

"Great help to stop streetrace"
"This is a great help for us to stop the street race," says Johan Siverland to Mitt in Stockholm.

The Mustang owner claims that he did not run any illegal street races but built his car for legal races. But there is evidence that, according to the preliminary investigation, the Mustang participated in at least 17 illegal street races in public places.

According to the judgment, as mentioned, the car owner is not linked to any crime. But whoever ran the Mustang in the street racing, who it is now, has committed serious traffic crimes, says Södertörn's District Court.

High value no obstacle
The right also means that the illegal street racing has been conducted in an organized form and therefore there is a great risk, according to the court, that the car continues to be used for crime in case it should be returned to the owner.

The right does not consider the high value of the car to be regarded as a barrier to a confiscation, as the car has been purchased and rebuilt for the purpose of criminal activity.
