SVT Nyheter has talked to several police officers who are investigating criminal suspicions against the criminal leader who is called the "Kurdish fox" and who wishes to remain anonymous. They are critical of the fact that too little is being done to get him prosecuted. Among other things, it is thought that the Turkish ambassador should be called up by the government and demanded answers about what the country is doing about a Turkish citizen who is suspected of instigating murders and blasts in Sweden.
"It is a major concern that there are several leading figures in criminal networks who act with foreign countries as a base. It is absolutely crucial that we maintain strong legal cooperation with countries where it occurs. These contacts must take place at the level of the authorities, but also with strong political backing when possible and appropriate, says Gunnar Strömmer (M).
Neither extradited nor prosecuted
In November, Ulf Kristersson said he had raised the issue of the criminals with President Erdogan. Since then, violence in the Stockholm area has increased significantly and one of the most driving forces in the gang conflict is, according to pollisen, the "Kurdish fox", who has become a Turkish citizen after he fled Sweden and is detained in absentia in several cases. Gunnar Strömmer does not want to comment on what is being done in his case.
"I can't comment on individuals or cases, but you can be sure that everything that can be done is done in these cases. There is also a complicated issue of citizenship. Nor do we leave our citizens out anyway.
Does the NATO process affect how much Sweden can put pressure on Turkey?
"We have good legal cooperation between our countries and if the processes we are in now achieve anything in this area, it is to further strengthen that cooperation," says Gunnar Strömmer.
