No, that is not the same thing because Swedish and American law are not the same. Giving orders in specific cases is perfectly legal (and not very uncommon) in countries such as the UK and USA, but not in Sweden.
No, but I did get it from the web of course, as I currently don't own a printed law book. "Highly illegal" is perhaps a subjective term, IANAL but it is my understanding that this is stated in the Swedish constitution (regeringsformen, kap. 11, 7), so personally I think using "highly" is justified in this situation.
But if this is not the case at all, please correct me. As you seem to have great knowledge in the matter I can't see why you don't explain the situation in your post so that we can avoid further misconception?
It might also be worth to mention that by Swedish law it is highly illegal for a politician in the government to give orders to the police or other institution in specific matters such as this. It is called "ministerstyre" (minister's ruling?), and the law is in place as a means to stop corruption.
SVT, the national publicly-funded television broadcaster in Sweden, claims the following:
"Enligt källor till SVT har USA utövat påtryckningar mot svenska politiker, som i sin tur uppmanat polisen att agera."
Roughly translated to English:
"According to SVT's sources, the USA have pressured Swedish politicians, who in turn have requested that the police should act."
IANAL, but I thought it was illegal for Swedish politicians to influence police, courts etc. in specific cases. It is called "ministerstyre" (ministry's ruling?), and is illegal in order to prevent corruption.

He didn't die (out of pure luck), but was sent to prison.
