"During the house searches, the police seized various items that may be of interest to the investigation. These will now be analysed. Given the confidentiality of the preliminary investigation, I will not comment on what was seized," prosecutor Oskar Edvardsson said in a press release at 1:30 p.m.

According to Expressen, plainclothes officers from the National Operations Department (Noa) carried out a dawn raid on Tuesday morning. They allegedly left one of the apartments afterwards carrying a large paper bag with unknown contents.

The police seized IT equipment, among other things, Dagens Nyheter reports.

Oskar Edvardsson confirmed that Noa was behind the operation and that it was carried out with support from police in the Bergslagen region.

Neither the police nor the prosecutor initially wanted to comment on the operation or the investigation into suspected election fraud linked to Riksdag member Mohamed Ali’s personal election campaign.

No one has been charged in the investigation.
