Expressen's revelation about a hidden relationship and conflict between two of Sweden's highest police chiefs has aroused strong emotions.

Labor law expert Tommy Iseskog believes that the secret events created a vulnerability that could affect the security of the kingdom.

Now the chairman of the justice committee Richard Jomshof (SD) writes to SVT that the case is "very serious" and that he agrees with the criticism from Iseskog: "It actually casts a shadow of ridicule over the entire police leadership, which is hardly what we need in today's very serious situation with serious organized crime.”

Jomshof "assumes that the national police chief carefully, but quickly, investigates what has happened", he writes to SVT.

Even the Left Party's member on the committee, Gudrun Nordborg, believes that the national police chief must get to the bottom of the case.

- If it is as it appears in Expressen, then they have dropped the issue without doing it.

Spoke with reported

Nordborg, who himself has worked on issues related to men's violence against women, is critical on several points.

According to Expressen's information, national police chief Anders Thornberg, when he learned of the police report, chose to speak with the reported top manager Mats Löfving, but not with the possible crime victim, intelligence chief Linda Staaf.

- If you think about what you normally do when someone is a suspect, you usually collect information from, for example, the victim before you talk to the suspect, says Nordborg.

She also criticizes that the prosecutor who chose to drop the case for Expressen describes it as "a matter of jealousy".

- Invoking jealousy feels very old-fashioned.

SVT has searched for both the national police chief, Mats Löfving and Linda Staaf, without success.
