It was in March that the police announced that three supporter groups around IFK Göteborg would be classified as criminal networks. However, the authority has now clarified that this concerns individuals, not the supporter groups as a whole.
What we have actually done is start from these supporter networks that pose risks and identified individuals whom we have then classified as part of a criminal network, says Jens Ahlstrand, head of the intelligence unit in the region, to Dagens Nyheter .
According to Ahlstrand, this currently involves around 100 people.
Instead of calling the association a criminal network, a few of us talked about the groups these people belong to as criminal networks, and that is not right, he tells Göteborgs-Posten .
