The incident at the elderly care home in Gothenburg is considered a "very serious misconduct" by the City of Gothenburg and has been reported to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate.

"You are in a state of dependence and you are vulnerable, which is why you are exposed when we film," the shelter's operations manager tells the newspaper.

Eight staff members were in the chat group where the clip was shared - all have been reported to the police for breach of confidentiality and violating confidentiality.

When the film was shared in the group, language "that is not customary" was also used, according to the operations manager.
