Although his reputation was affected by allegations of criminal activity, his involvement in the trial was suspended owing to poor health.

Ángeles Muñoz shared a tribute to her beloved sweetheart on Facebook writing, “Thank you so much for all of the support during this difficult time for our family”. Tributes also poured in from the international community.

A funeral service is expected to be announced shortly. 

Rest in peace, Lars Gunnar Broberg.
