On Tuesday morning, officers from the National Operations Department raided at least two apartments in Borlänge. Both addresses are linked to the investigation into suspected election fraud. The officers left the residences carrying bags and suitcases—but the prosecutor refuses to comment on the operation.
At around 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, plainclothes police officers carried out raids in the multicultural neighborhoods of Tjärna ängar and Jakobsgården in Borlänge. According to The Express Personnel from the National Operations Department (NOA) participated with vehicles registered in Stockholm.
Left the apartments with bags
Two police officers entered an apartment in Tjärna ängar and later left the scene carrying a large brown bag. Shortly thereafter, another police team was seen leaving an apartment in Jakobsgården, where one of the officers was carrying a large backpack.
According to Expressen, both addresses may be linked to the ongoing investigation into suspected election fraud connected to the Somali group in Borlänge. It has not yet been confirmed what the police were looking for or whether anything was seized.
The prosecutor remains silent about the raids
When Expressen confronted the plainclothes police officers at the scene, they refused to answer questions about the operation. The prosecutor with the National Anti-Corruption Unit, Oskar Edvardsson, declines to comment on the incident.
– No comments, ", Edvardsson tells Expressen.
The prosecutor also declined to say whether anyone had been notified of suspicion or brought in for questioning. Several weeks ago, he stated that no one had been notified of suspicion at that time.
