They were convicted of drug offenses, they were convicted of robbery, they had several convictions that the company chose to withhold from the City of Stockholm, says Social Councilor Alexander Ojanne (S) to the radio channel.
In August, the police published a previously classified report that concluded that organized and family-based crime had likely infiltrated the HVB market. The report listed 18 HVB homes in southern, western, and central Sweden, but did not name them.
The City of Stockholm had previously requested access to the list but was denied by the police, who stated that it was based on classified intelligence material. Instead, the police urged the municipalities to improve their scrutiny of the homes.
Following the City of Stockholm's investigation, the youths have now been moved from the accommodation. Alexander Ojanne is, however, critical of the fact that the supervisory authority, the Inspectorate for Health and Social Care, did not stop the company.
There are still other municipalities that continue to place children with the same company, there are still children who are being mistreated.
