Steinþór Gunnarsson
Steinþór Gunnarsson is a former head of securities trading at Landsbanki Íslands who became a central figure in the infamous Ímon case. After serving time in prison from September 2016 to July 2017 for his involvement in the financial crisis, he has since been vocal about the judicial processes surrounding the case, criticizing the handling of evidence and legal protocols. He recently called for a public investigation into the broader crisis cases, contending that the Icelandic legal system failed to uphold the rule of law during his trial. His experiences highlight the complexities of the financial collapse in Iceland and the subsequent legal battles that ensued, including his eventual acquittal in April 2023 after nearly two decades of fighting against what he perceives as a flawed system.
