Have criminal clans infiltrated the government?
Police Chief Mats Löfving has reason to explain what he meant by a statement in a high-profile interview this weekend.
Mats Löfving it is not just anyone.
He is a deputy chief of police and has the highest rank in NOA, the national police operational department, so he should have a better knowledge and understanding of the world of organized crime than, in principle, all other residents of Sweden.
In Ekot’s last interview on Saturday, he posted the text on the state of the nation and drew an equally dark and true picture of a gang crime that not only acquires more and more, but also seems to become more ruthless and ruthless.
We have reason to listen to Löfving and get an idea of what he says. Your message is important.
Something that, however, should not be seen as a call to the Riksdag to bow and immediately make new laws of everything the chief of police wants.

Löfving is an experienced fox that knows how to take advantage of the winds that are currently blowing in the form of a harder grip and a more repressive state.
For intelligence purposes, for example, he wants to be able to intercept “people who are not yet involved in any criminal investigation.”
Another way of putting the matter is that Löfving wants the tools to be able to snoop into everyone’s life. It is not possible to find a person who is “not yet” the subject of police interest.
If I understood Löfving correctly, it is primarily the people who may be linked to gang crime who should be intercepted. In other words, the loving little sister of a young torpedo will find herself in the beautiful new world where her teenage laughter with her friends will become the subject of state interest.
But paragraphs of this kind, sooner or later, tend to be broader in scope than politicians solemnly promise.
Just take the law on Electronic communication, which was founded on the fight against terrorism, gang murder and child pornography, but which within a few years was used to drag a poor man who illegally downloaded a couple of Beck films into the courtroom.
Saturday’s interview now better not only contained police wet dreams of this type. Subsequent headlines have mostly focused on the at least 40 criminal clans that Löfving has established in Sweden.
Not at all surprising that they are interested in making money and have considerable strength at their disposal. They commit violent crimes, sell drugs, blackmail, commit social fraud and have taken over positions in the corporate world.
None of this is really new, but it was good that the phenomenon was addressed.
However, what was new was the statement in which he ended his reasoning about family networks with:
– There are also examples of people getting involved in political life and wanting to play a role in the proper public governance of a municipality or even Sweden.
Experienced and good-natured host Monica Saarinen did not ask follow-up questions about this amazing statement.
It is known, for example, that there have been connections between the Södertälje network and politics, but this seems to be something else.
What does the deputy chief of the National Police mean? Do we have one or two MPs who deal with organized crime issues? Or are they tentacles at the official level?
Is it purely true that the police have indications that one of these organizations has infiltrated the government or in its immediate vicinity?
Löfving is good, experienced and serious. I have no reason to distrust the statement. There is also no reason to believe that the claim is based on the fact that the Security Police have discovered that a Somali janitor at the Ministry of Justice is the cousin of a clan leader. Reasonably, these are much heavier things than that.
I do not ask the police to provide detailed intelligence information. But if the clans have succeeded in something as incredible as infiltrating the political control of Sweden, then we have a right to know.
What do you mean, Mats Löfving?
