The deputy chief of the National Police, Mats Löfving, was criticized and praised after the interview about the criminal clans.
Now reply in Agenda.
– We owe it to good people in vulnerable areas, he says.
In Sweden, there are at least 40 networks of criminal families, said Deputy Police Chief Mats Löfving in Saturday’s interview with Ekot.
– They have come to Sweden, I mean, solely for the purpose of organizing and systematizing crime, he said in the interview.
In Tonight’s Agenda on SVT, he responded to criticism – and tributes – that were later leveled at him by both police and politicians.
– We feel the need within the police management to open this door for a thorough discussion, he says.

Strengthen security
Mats Löfving believes that something similar was done in 2015 with the status report “How is the country in vulnerable areas”, which led to a good discussion and good measures to strengthen security in those areas.
– Now we feel it was time to open this door linked to criminals who use families and relatives as a platform to build crime, says Agenda.
The Riksdag debated clans and ethnic groups linked to crime this week. The SVT asks the deputy chief of the national police if that was what he wanted to get out.
– Well, we want to have an open discussion, open the door wide. The problem we are seeing right now with these criminals who use families and relatives as a platform, requires very broad and comprehensive measures from the whole of society and also in a sustainable way, says Mats Löfving.
– We perceive that we are guilty of this and not least of all these good people who are in vulnerable areas, because it generates a lot of insecurity and we also have the responsibility in police management to strengthen the work environment of our police officers who work in vulnerable areas. areas every day.
The Clan Debate
In the interview, Mats Löfving clarifies what he means by the information on criminal networks and the debate on the word clan, which has been much debated since the interview on Ekot.
– What I am talking about here, are the criminals who use the family, the relatives or if we call it the clan as a platform to commit crimes, he says.
– We have been working a bit on this issue of name and definition this week. I am a police officer and my mission is to make concrete citizen benefits in a real way and not least for all these people in vulnerable areas. I don’t really start with these naming and definition topics because our police officers at the far end and the people at the far end just don’t care.
Mats Löfving believes that others should stand out from that debate.
It also supports the task of having about 40 groups (families, relatives, clans) be in Sweden and commit crimes. But she also says that it is impossible to say whether they came to the country with the intention of becoming criminals.
