Incarcerated Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svarholm will likely face charges over hacking in the coming month.
Svarholm was deported from his hiding place in Cambodia in August and brought back to Sweden to serve a year in prison for his involvement with the infamous torrent tracker.
After returning to the country, however, Svartholm was accused of hacking Logica, a Swedish IT company.
Gottfrid has been incarcerated since.
Prosecutor Henrik Olin says he will make his decision by the end of February on whether to pursue charges: "Our ambition is to be able to prosecute. But I am of course open to any new information that may come in."
Svarholm says he remains bored, as all access to the Internet has been blocked to him.
