According to information to SVT, the son, who is in a gang-criminal environment, has been offered help from several relatives for a long time.

Among other things, they allegedly tried to get him to become a partner in a company run by members of the family. 

A relative of the father, who wishes to remain anonymous, describes that the father finally decided to break contact with the son when it became clear that the son did not intend to leave the criminal life.   

Didn't know about the publication 

According to the relative, it is clear that there is a connection between the son's name and picture being published in the media, and the father being shot dead in his home a few hours later.  

- The family was not informed that the publication would take place, even less about any support.

In any case, the family should have been informed so that they could take any measures themselves, he says.  

In the publication, the son was singled out as a suspect in a shooting at a villa in Uppsala where relatives of the wanted gang member "Kurdish fox" live.

The family should not have known that the son was a suspect in the shooting in Uppsala, and according to the father's relative, they were also not told that the police had given their approval for the son's name and picture to be published in the media.  

Prosecutor Moa Blomqvist in Uppsala made the formal decision to release the name and picture. 

- We made a risk assessment based on how the case looked at the time, she says. 

Considering the intensity we have seen in this conflict in recent times - should you have understood that publishing names and pictures could be risky? 

- It is always easy to draw such conclusions in retrospect.

We didn't do that then, we looked at the material we had and we didn't draw those conclusions, she says.  

The family believes that the prosecutor's actions need to be investigated, and are now considering how to proceed.  

- The prosecutor should have understood that the publication would involve risks for relatives, says the relative to the father. 

The family received no protection 

According to the relative, the police offered no protection to the family in connection with the publication.

Nor immediately after the murder of the father, which the family is critical of. 

SVT has been in contact with several people within the police who work with granting protective measures.

They say it is extremely difficult to grant protection to relatives.  

- They must report a crime and not just any stupid crime.

Needs to be like death threats, but not a phone call but they have to be real threats.

It is very difficult to get patronage from us, says one of the sources.
