– Criminal networks must be broken, says Mikael Damberg. The use of coercive coercive measures is essential in the fight against the criminal environment, especially in the case of serious crimes such as drug crimes, drug smuggling and violent crimes.
The police authority needs better opportunities for home searches, according to the interior minister. Sanctuary arrest should be introduced and foot shackles should be able to be used to a greater extent. Swedish Customs will also be empowered to intervene, for example, in cases of suspected human trafficking and other cross-border crimes.
Secret coercive measures since eavesdropping and surveillance should also be more accessible as a tool in criminal investigations. Reading secret data is another measure that has been in place since last spring and should also be expanded, says Damberg.
One thing that needs to be investigated for this is whether investigators should have the right to add up the value of the penalty for alleged ongoing crimes so that it reaches the threshold at which coercive coercive measures should be allowed. Today, criminal investigators can only monitor one crime and to monitor electronically, the penalty must be at least two years in prison, interception in a secret room requires at least four years.
The so-called 34-point program was established in September last year after the government spoke to all parliamentary parties except SD. However, M, KD and L chose to leave the negotiations because they felt the government was not doing enough: they abolished the refund of fines for young people, the introduction of a crown witness system, and harsher penalties for youth. Gang crimes were some of the things that were missing.
The culture of silence stands out as a major problem and therefore it should be investigated whether, for example, anonymous testimonies should be opened. Possibly, the head of the preliminary investigation will have the right to intercept and monitor to stop crimes such as perjury, extortion and abuse in court. The researcher, the former director general of the Swedish Justice Directorate, Barbro Thorblad, will present his final report no later than April 14, 2022.
