Roswall hopes that a May 2006 raid, in which over 180 servers at the host of the Pirate Bay were seized, will provide enough evidence of criminal activity. However, a leak regarding the raid revealed that the Swedish police got little or no incriminating evidence against the service or its operators.
Responding to May 2007 comments, administrator Tobias Andersson explained that the police need to do something to save face. "Of course we don't think they will succeed," he said, "I think they feel they have to do it. It would look bad otherwise since they had 20 to 30 police officers involved in the raid … we will most likely be cleared as it is obvious that there is no copyrighted material on the site, there are just links to other places."
