Shoplifting Case of 2008, It Happened While I Was on Summer Traning in Sweden

[samco.me]

My question involves criminal law for the state of:

I am an Indian citizen and was doing my summer Internship in Trollhatten Sweden during May-July 2008. One fine day on 22nd May 2008, I went to a supermarket very near to my residence. I had my own bags in which I carry my stuffs, and I put them in trolley.

When i finished shopping that time i had 2 stuffs in my hand,rest in bags and went straight to payment counters,where I found myself standing in que at the last.It was taking a lot time so I started listening to music from my mp3 player.Suddenly my number came, moved forward ,put those 2 stuffs on the moving belt ,counter-lady gave me bill (32 Swedish Krona) payed it cash ,took the bill, and got out of the payment counter row with just bill in hand while njoying music simultaneously, moved further with trolley ,stood near a magzine section.

In seconds that counter-lady called me, when I din listen(coz of my ****ing ear phones) she came back to me, said "you forgot these 2 stuffs', I turned around and seeing those 2 stuffs and bags (with stuff worth 108 SEK) in trolley,i told to myself m ****ed now.

She asked me to open my bags and then without even listening to me she called one guy,they took me into isolation,called police. Police asked me about the matter, and asked do I admit its shoplifting, I was nervous and scared too, just said that I forgot to pay for those stuffs and its not shoplifting. The police clicked one pic of mine, took a copy of my passport and left me.

After two weeks I attended one police hearing, where I told them exactly the same, that I was absent minded and it was unintentional. In the end, they said you will hear about this soon. I told the prosecutor also that on 15th july 2008 I am going back to my country, and they said that I am going to hear from them before my day of departure But I didn't receive any piece of info/ notice in writing or in mail till 15th July. I came back to my country on 16th July safely.

Its been 5 years since then, and am living a peaceful life in my country. It is just that now whenever I think to do my post graduation from the same University in Trollhatten Sweden (I did exceptionally well, got letter of recommendation from my guide & I never disclosed this case with my guide or anybody in there), this criminal case puts in a big question mark on my face. I don't know whether it it even possible for me to go back again to Sweden.

Please advice me as in what should I do in this case, if i have to again go back to sweden.

thnks in advance.
