Among the approximately 85 suspected perpetrators are, among others, lawyers, social workers, SIS employees, and teachers.
The youngest was 17 years old at the time of the crime. Today, we regularly encounter very young men, sometimes even boys, says Simon Häggström, operational leader at the police, to the radio.
The raids are a result of the police operation called Torsk 2.0.
We have encountered a lot of anxiety among these men during the raids. But the anxiety they experience is nothing compared to the anxiety they themselves have caused these women, says Häggström about what is characteristic of the raids.
The women whom the men bought sex from come from, among others, Sweden, Romania, and Ukraine.
