Säpo Insyn Council Convenes Over Migration Minister's Son and Data Leaks

Säpo's inspection council meets on Wednesday for an extra meeting. The reason is the revelations surrounding the fact that the Minister for Migration Johan Forssell (The Moderate Party) son moved in right-wing extremist circles, and that Säpo leaked sensitive information via training apps.

The meeting takes place in Säpo's own premises during the afternoon, reports Säpo's press service to TT. The Insyn Council is led by the Head of the Security Police and consists of members from the Riksdag parties. Member of Parliament Ulrika Liljeberg (C) is one of those who will ask questions to Säpo on the occasion.

Want to know if there are obstacles

Her questions do not specifically concern children of ministers or individual bodyguards or devices, she clarifies to TT.

My questions will be about how Säpo views the possibility of being able to perform their mission. If they think they have the right strategy, or if there are legal obstacles that make it difficult for them to detect such things as relatives' dealings with right-wing extremist circles and leaked devices, says Ulrika Liljeberg to TT.

More want answers

The Social Democrats have also previously stated that they want to get answers from the Säpo chief about how the incidents could occur.

I will ask about both events and based on the answers, see if we believe that the government needs to take action to strengthen security, for example by giving Säpo new tasks or extended resources, said S-member Teresa Carvalho to DN in July.

The Insyn Council is described as the citizens' extended arm into Säpo. The Council can ask questions and give the head of the authority advice, but has no decision-making powers.
