Updated: 10:17 EDT, 18 July 2022 - It goes on to
explain Drake's rights under Swedish law, which are
similar to Miranda rights given people suspected of
a crime in the U.S., according to TMZ. Those right
are broken down into bullet points on the print-out,
beginning with how suspects have the right to 'know
what it is you are suspected of and why you are
being detained'.
The document also notes that Drake
'receive the aid of a defense attorney who under
certain conditions can be paid for by the state' and
that he can 'receive the assistance of an
interpreter during interrogation if necessary'.
There's also a mention that 'if you are not a
Swedish citizen, you have the right to demand that
your own country's consulate or equivalent
institutions be notified of your detainment and that
messages from you be forwarded there'.
But, it doesn't appear things got
that serious in this matter. The next portion
of the document goes on to talk about the next steps
that will happen in regards to the proceedings. The
rumor was that Drake was arrested on marijuana
related charges while partying at a Swedish club
this past week...
