It was last summer that the police in an intelligence report pointed out 18 HVB companies that can be linked to criminals. The message from Social Minister Camilla Waltersson Grönvall (The Moderate Party) was then that the homes would be closed.
The police have also sounded the alarm in over ten other cases of various kinds of misconduct. But when Ivo went out on Friday with the news that 16 homes had been closed during the year, it turns out, according to Ekot, that less than a third of them belong to the group that the police have sounded the alarm about in various ways.
I am naturally glad that 16 unscrupulous HVB homes have now been closed and I look forward to there being more, says Waltersson Grönvall to Ekot – and notes that much work remains.
With the emergence we have seen of criminal actors, it is clear that the industry must be cleaned up.
The closures that have been carried out are based, among other things, on tax evasion, owners not checking employees against the criminal records register, and drugs at the home.
Ivo has previously stated that they tightened their supervision during the autumn. This is after new directives from the government.
