There have been quite powerful and serious threats. We need to do our part to protect our employees and those who attend our matches, continues Wifvesson.
The reason for the discontinuation of the preliminary investigation is that the suspected person does not live in Sweden, says prosecutor Karin Lundström-Kron to Radiosporten.
Håkan Wifvesson has not yet taken full part of the decision to discontinue the preliminary investigation.
What we will do now is to gather as much information as possible, and then inform those who work around the association. We want to talk to Elitfotboll dam (EFD), Svenska fotbollförbundet and the police about how we should think to make it as safe and secure in this new situation, he says to TT.
Threats during the summer
The threats began in 2024 and have come in several waves since then. As far as Wifvesson knows, the latest threats came before the European Championship in Switzerland.
Of course, we would rather have spent money on the development of young players instead of security guards, but we have a responsibility to protect those around the club and those who attend our matches.
Wifvesson emphasizes that Rosengård has had a good cooperation and dialogue with the police, Svenska fotbollförbundet and EFD.
There is concern
We act as professionally as we can to ensure safety, and trust that all other authorities do the same.
Do you feel any concern in the club?
As soon as there are threats, there is concern. We do not know if it can go from threats to action. We do not know what kind of individuals the ones who threaten are and how they behave. We need to assume the worst scenario and build safety around it, says Wifvesson.
