It may be about employees who have criminal relatives, debts or connections to Russia or Iran.

We do not see that the threat has increased, that is, we do not get more hits from, for example, the criminal records register or from the Security Police's register. What we see is that we, in our overall assessment, have become better at identifying different forms of vulnerabilities, says Johan Tell, security chief at the Tax Agency to the radio.

The Tax Agency has information that is highly interesting to individuals within organized crime. According to the Security Police, intelligence activities from Iran, Russia, and China are also one of the largest security threats.

The security chief does not want to say how many people it concerns or why they did not pass the security check, reports Ekot.
