"The crime was serious and could have led to serious consequences for my client," she told the Expressen daily.
Gustaf Reinfeldt was attacked when he left a private party in the Stureplan area of central Stockholm last November. The PM's son was 18-years-old at the time.
His assailant admitted to Stockholm District Court that he had hit him in the head with a beer bottle although denied having kicked him.
According to Expressen, the teenager claimed that the attack was some form of "revenge" because two of his friends has previously been assaulted.
Reinfeldt junior fell to the ground and lost consciousness in the attack.
Gustaf Reinfeldt gained media attention in March after landing a part-time job at conservative think-tank Timbro. In February he took his political bow after being elected as chair of the Moderate Party youth league in Solna.
The PM's son has previously featured in the media for inviting his friends in August 2011 to come and have a burger at his then employer, US chain McDonald's.
In February 2009, he joined a Facebook group "Free The Pirate Bay", taking a highly publicised stand in favour of the controversial founders of the popular file sharing site ahead of their trial for copyright violations.

this makes me think the teenager is from a different group most likely foreigner, because unless reinfeldts kid had attacked him before the only thing that qualifies him for being attacked is the fact that he is swede , so if the teenagers who were attacked had immigrant background that means anyone who is swede is a target for being attacked.(my speculation)
i dont get why swedish media hides stuff like this , having kids who were probably born in sweden, get in fights with "typical" swedes just because their parents come from another land is a serious problem and hiding it wont help solving it. Specially and this is the funny part.
If these ethnical kids go back to their land they would be eaten alive.
so in the end they are just as spoiled brats as teenage swedes who have no clue about life.
The dumbest comment I have ever seen.
