As per user Manucode, this is shitty propaganda posted by Hungary, Mr Orban stirring up shit as ever -
OP, please delete and check your sources in future, thanks from the entire planet
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 อส อกยฐ)
I've never heard of Europeanconservative.com so I usually look these things up on mediabiasfactcheck

Neither have they
Far right propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_European_Conservative
Thanks, this needs to be a separate comment, will post
It's always good to question unknown sources but Euronews seems to report the same thing:
https://www.euronews.com/2024/04/30/swedish-police-to-investigate-reports-of-information-leaks-to-violent-gangs
What are their sources? Sadly it's all too common that different outlets write the same thing because they all use the same source without checking it themselves.
True, I didn't find any major publications confirming it. All the articles that do were published on the same day.
I just wanted to provide additional info, which curiously seems to have been disliked by people?
I don't get what you're saying, that doesn't look like this source is not credible.
The source is full of red flags all over, and it's not reputable at all. Having a fancy header is not the same as "looking credible".
They cite two sources. One is behind a paywall in Swedish, the other is a politician they choose to label as conservative, but who is actually member of the Swedish extreme right (Sverigedemokraterna), not the conservative party (Moderaterna).
I was looking at the link provided, as this person provided that as evidence. On that site there is not really anything leading me to believe everything from them is bs.
The link shows that mediabiasfactcheck has never heard of them, they're not listed at all.
Perhaps, just maybe, that's why there's nothing leading you to believe that ๐
Citing a paywalled source isn't really non-credible. DN is absolutely a credible source. But for anyone that's doesn't have a DN sub, read the SVT article like someone else suggested. The Euronews article is probably good too.
But personally I would probably dismiss any newspaper with such a stupid name.
Here is the DN article for anyone that's interested (copy pasted using Firefox reader, so pardon my formatting): https://paste.ee/p/4MIBi
Here is part two that was published the next day: https://paste.ee/p/mBhgt
Yeah, it's not that DN is not reputable, it's just that I couldn't actually check that they made the same claims as Conservative European. When I checked SVT it said something different, which didn't increase my confidence either.
These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation.
Exactly. So just disregarding it is a little quick.
That definitely suggests this source is not credible, but you read what you want to read, old bean
Okay, tell me, where would i see that?
