The Swedish Crime Prevention Council (Brå) will soon conduct a study to see if there is a connection between ethnicity and the increasingly brutal and degrading youth robberies in Sweden.

The council maintain that they want to ascertain whether the victim or perpetrator has a Swedish or foreign background. That this initiative comes from Brå is quite unexpected. But when conservative daily Nya Tidertried to approach Brås investigators about why they chose to do this survey, they refused to comment.

The debate about youth robbery has become a hot topic in Sweden especially on social media where testimonies abound about how especially Swedish young people are exposed to this type of crime, either because they are white, blonde, blue-eyed and so on, or because they may come from more affluent areas.

Immigrant youths are often responsible for the robberies, in many cases accompanied by gratuitous and demeaning violence directed at ethnic Swedes.

On 25 November, SVT published the somewhat unexpected news that the Crime Prevention Council will take a closer look at the connection between the perpetrator’s and the victim’s ethnicity. According to SVT, Brå believes that the debate is apparently based largely on speculation, and therefore wants more fact-based statistics on what the reality looks like. The statistical reality already paints a gloomy picture on how widespread the crime is. SVT noted that in 2019, 7 741 reported youth robberies were committed in Sweden, the highest figure ever.

With the forthcoming study, Brå may be mapping themes that have been taboo until now, and their project is not uncontroversial. This was evident from the evasive answer that investigator Maria von Bredow gave SVT: “We will look at it but then we do not know what answers we will get. But where there is an identified perpetrator, we will definitely look at the background.”

Maria von Bredow refused to be interviewed by Nya Tider. And the burning question remains unanswered: Why is Brå attempting to do such a study right now? Has the general anti-immigration mood in the country lifted the taboo?

At a funeral in Bremen, contact restrictions and hygiene rules were ignored. Water cannons or pepper spray were not used by the police despite the violations.

In Bremen, the police nevertheless attended two funeral ceremonies held for one person within three days. The person in question was a head of the family from Lebanon. Around 400 guests gathered at a Bremen cemetery to celebrate his funeral. However, funerals are currently only permitted with a few guests. Although the participants made every effort to keep their distance, as the police reported, and although disinfectants were available and many wore face masks, various violations of contact restrictions and hygiene rules still took place. Moreover, many of the mourners had come from different cities or even from abroad.

Unlike in Berlin or Hildburghausen in Thuringia, where the police deployed water cannons and pepper spray against peaceful demonstrations against the Corona Lockdown, however, the officers acted with leniency and left water cannons and pepper spray unused for once – although these have recently become very popular against Corona rule violators. Instead, they preferred dialogue and asked the person in charge – a cousin of the deceased – to influence the mourners’ community to prevent infection. They probably showed understanding and gradually left the funeral.Some of the mourners had already become notorious. A few days before the funeral of the head of the family clan, there was already an unauthorised funeral service, at which up to 50 people had gathered in a backyard in tents set up especially for the occasion. The party was discovered when residents called the police because of numerous traffic jams and parking violations. The police then spotted the large crowd in the courtyard, which was said to have hardly complied with hygiene rules and contact restrictions.In contrast to the funeral, however, the guests may have shown little understanding, which is why 33 complaints for violation of the Corona rules were issued. In mid-November, the police in Bremen had already had to ban a funeral service with 80 participants in a mosque, which also led to a serious dispute between members of an extended family.

According to the current state of investigations, a 22-year-old Afghan is strongly suspected of having sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl last Friday, November 20, 2020, and Saturday, November 21, 2020 in Mühlacker. On Friday, when the 13-year-old visited the suspect, sexual acts were allegedly committed against the will of the victim. On Saturday, the child is said to have returned to the home of the suspect. There, the suspect allegedly tried to perform sexual acts against the will of the 13-year-old again, but finally stopped doing so due to the resistance of the victim.The girl reported the incident to the police in the presence of her mother, whereupon the Karlsruhe public prosecutor’s office – Pforzheim district office – applied for and issued an arrest warrant against the 22-year-old at Pforzheim district court. The prime suspect was arrested on Monday and was imprisoned after being brought before the judge.
