In Sweden, there are at least 40 networks of criminal families, according to the deputy chief of the National Police, Mats Löfving. He states this in Ekot’s interview on Saturday.
– They have come to Sweden, I mean, solely for the purpose of organizing and systematizing crime, he says.
So far this year, 27 men have been murdered in gangs, which is as much as last year and the year before, according to Mats Löfving. He sees it as a development that has been going on since 2012 and will remain for a long time.
Now Mats Löfving is roaring and accusing decision makers and those in power of not giving their full support in the fight against gang crime.
– There are many who have to do much more. You need to be coordinated all the time and you can’t go yo-yo in your commitment and adapt a little to the pressure of the media, he says in the interview on Saturday with Ekot.

“He has a great capacity for violence”
Another problem for the police is family networks in Sweden, according to Löfving.
– You are far from all the people who want to be part of Swedish society. Right now we have at least 40 family-based criminal networks in Sweden, the so-called clans. They have come to Sweden, I say, solely for the purpose of organizing and systematizing crime. They work to generate power, they have a great capacity for violence and they want to earn money, he tells the radio.
According to Löfving, the culture of silence within these types of networks is total, which makes it difficult for the police. The networks make money from drug-related crime, as well as violent crime and extortion, according to Löfving.
– The whole family, the whole family, the whole clan raises their children so that they can take over the clan. These children do not have the ambition to be part of society, but they have the ambition from birth to take charge of the crime. There in Sweden we are quite naive.

Wants to listen to non-suspects
Mats Löfving also says that the police want the opportunity to intercept even people who are not suspected of any crime. The purpose of this would be to provide the police with more effective tools to combat gang crime, among other things to better understand how criminals reason.
Löfving also opens up for the police to be inspired by Danish and German law.
