Some 30 female police officers in Sweden allowed themselves to be seduced and exploited by gangsters to whom they gave information that later led to several deadly altercations on the streets.

The Swedish BBC, SVT, has a better write up on this that can be ran through whatever translation service your heart desires.

The biggest lie the "European Conservative" is pushing seems to be that they are police staff: The concerned individuals are police students, yet "European Conservative" doesn't mention the word student even once. The students have since been expelled.

It seems at least some already associated with criminal networks when they applied for the police academy.

I'm the first to say that Swedish policing looks like amateur hour at times, but this is just disinformation. I suspect the "European Conservative" is neither European nor conservative.

It sounds from that article that there were two women who applied having already had connections to crime and there's a suggestion it may not have been their decision, and then seperately 27 people in total in the last 4 years were suspended for security reasons.

This makes the article suuuper misleading.

Thanks for supplementary article. I don't really know this European Conservative website either (I just got the link) but they do mention that in the example they describe she was a cadet when they started dating. But how do cadets / police students get access to classify information about ongoing investigations?

I would assume they participate in police work as part of the training, but that's just a guess. :)

Can only speak for training in Germany, but I assume Sweden is somewhat similar: During training students spend several months in police stations helping with the real work, similar to an internship. They have contacts to fully trained colleagues and also access to some internal software, which is less relevant as most of the (for them) accessible info there is public anyways, but on really rare occasions something interesting might drop accidentally.

Interesting (and kind of creepy?). It all makes much more sense now.

I wonder how much they were inspired by The Departed movie when planning this whole thing ( อกยฐ อœส– อกยฐ)
