Pennegaard said that Sweden has no intention of filing a request to the competent authorities in Iraq for a transfer of Saddam Hussein to Sweden before his trial. Giovanni di Stefano has said that Iraq's insurgency has made Baghdad far too dangerous a venue for the former leader's trial, and that the proceeding should be moved to another country. He said Saddam's defense team has contacted the Swedish government about the possibility of holding such a trial in Sweden.
