One of the reasons for JO's investigation is that Åsa Nyberg Botshinda's son has been repeatedly checked and body searched by the Linköping police.
According to her, because the son does not look Swedish.
Her brother is a lawyer and made a JO notification in April.
Police motive
JO has carried out an inspection of 150 cases to investigate police visits in relation to the Police Act and the Code of Procedure.
The police's motive for the checks is, among other things, the gang-related murders and attempted murders that have hit Linköping in recent years.
According to the Police Act, they may carry out body searches and house searches in vehicles when it can be assumed that weapons or other dangerous objects can be found.
There must be a concrete circumstance that provides support for the measure.
Go by feel
JO has found flaws in his review of the police's documentation.
On some occasions, interventions have been made when there was only a "feeling that" the searched person was carrying a weapon.
According to JO, the visits made with the support of the procedural code have had a greater accuracy.
Here, all decisions have been documented and the police have on many occasions found narcotics on the person.
Consolidated Review 2023
JO writes in the minutes that there is no basis to make any statements regarding the visits of the man in question in this case.
However, JO does not rule out that several interventions have not been documented correctly.
Further inspections are to take place and when the combined review is complete, in the summer of 2023, the JO shall issue a statement.
