Swedish Armed Forces may be stopped from creating fake passports

The proposal is part of an investigation presented last year and is based on the idea that the upcoming civilian intelligence service MFU will take over the creation of false identities, such as passports, driver's licenses and population registration records, from KSI, which is part of the Armed Forces.

Several senior managers within the Armed Forces write in a consultation response that it is necessary to retain decisions on qualified protection identities and on the collection of information using special methods, writes DN.

The Officers' Association shares that view, and in its response to the consultation points to "significant security risks for the individual, both in the workplace and in private life," the newspaper writes.
