Wait what? She knew that was a possibility and that it is highly illegal and still she went through with it.

I would say that is having intent if anything. I love my country but I think she should be punished a lot harder. Arkebusering på slottsgården. But since that will never happen, 12 years in jail is probably enough.

But crucially not intent to commit treason. Gross negligence, sure (this she also admitted to). And I agree that she - and several others - ought to be punished much harder. But being naïve and incompetent (basically "yeah this is a problem but IBM can't provide people with security clearance yet, it takes too much time, and we're too far into the process and if we stop now many things - such as giving out driver's licenses and checking them - won't work for a while")... is, again, not treason.

Just like involuntary manslaughter is not murder, and so on.

Here's the definition by the way, 19 kap. 1 § brottsbalken: https://lagen.nu/1962:700#K19

Is that word from the same root as arquebus?

Yes, correct: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkebusering#Etymologi

Ultimately, both words come from low German "hakebusse".

for those who does not speak swedish (like me). google translate says "firing squad in the courtyard"

That was a joke though. :)

And slottsgården is more like "courtyard of the castle"

"Castle courtyard" or "palace courtyard".

Probably palace, since that's the fancier building with less physical defences in the construction.
