Car overturned – two people to hospital

Nordea has entered into a settlement in a money laundering case in the USA concerning the years 2008–2019. The settlement means that the bank will pay $35 million to the New York State Department of Financial Services.

It appears in one press release from Nordea. The background is that the bank is not considered to have taken sufficient measures against money laundering.

Nordea states that the bank “significantly” strengthened its preparedness against financial crime since 2015.

A police operation is underway in Västerås.

According to information to Aftonbladet, a shooting has occurred.

The students at a nearby school were accommodated.

– There were two teachers and some children who heard five, six bangs, so we called 112. We moved in immediately, but I let it go a few minutes ago because parents want to pick up their children, says the principal at the school.

The police are tight-lipped about the operation.

– I can confirm that we are investigating a case and trying to create a picture of what happened, says the press spokesperson Maria Hall.

Kaid Farhan Elkadi, from Rahat, was kidnapped by Hamas during the attacks on October 7, 2023. He has now been freed and brought to Israel by the Israeli military, the IDF.

According to Haaretz under the circumstances, the 52-year-old father of 11 is doing well and has been taken to hospital for further examinations.

An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is said to have escaped from a HVB home, prosecutor Lisa Åberg says.

– In the act, an automatic weapon was used in a densely populated area in the middle of the day, which entailed great risks for more people to be injured. The suspect was a deviation from a placement at an HVB home in Sweden, says Åberg in a press release.

The 18-year-old has no known connections to the murder victim, but that is to be investigated further.

– In this type of crime, it is common for several people to participate in the implementation and planning, and we will search for possibly more people involved. The crime victim occurred in a criminal environment and has been suspected of serious crime, says Lisa Åberg.

Mark Zuckerberg, head of Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, claims the Biden administration pressured Meta to remove some content about Covid-19 from its platforms.

In a letter to the US House of Representatives, Zuckerberg writes that he regrets agreeing to the White House’s demands, reports BBC.

The White House has defended its actions by saying that tech companies have a responsibility for their platforms’ “impact on the American people”.

Additionally, Meta was reportedly pressured to remove content about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, ahead of the 2020 election, following warnings from the FBI about a “possible Russian disinformation campaign” against the Biden family, which turned out to be false.

In the speech, he also addresses the riots that took place in the country in August. He says that the people behind them thought they could get away with “causing chaos, breaking communities and terrorizing minorities”.

– Now they learn that crime has consequences, he says according to the newspaper.

In June, Robin was sentenced by the district court to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife Gina.

It was on January 6 this year that 51-year-old Robin herself called SOS. His wife of the same age, Gina and mother of three children, then lay lifeless at home on the bedroom floor in the home in Vagnhärad, after he murdered her with a knife.

The district court found that there are several circumstances that made the act particularly reckless. Now the Court of Appeal confirms the verdict.

In November, the United States goes to the polls.

American voters have a choice between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

The presidential candidates have widely differing views on cooperation with Europe.

Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson (M) says at a meeting with the Riksdag journalists on Tuesday that the government must cooperate with the new administration, regardless of who wins.

She further says that she is rooting for one of the candidates, but does not want to say who it is.

– I’m definitely holding onto someone, I don’t want to reveal who it is here. The government is not keeping anyone, says the finance minister.

But that Joe Biden dropped out in favor of Kamala Harris, Svantesson sees as something positive, she says.

– I am happy that they are bringing a new candidate on the other side. It will be a better election campaign.

The reporter at Dagens Nyheter who brought more than SEK 150,000 to a suspected drug courier who is connected to the Foxtrot network is now leaving the newspaper.

– We agree on that. The reporter has been assisted by the Union of Journalists central and the union at DN, says the newspaper’s editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski to Today’s Media.

The reporter had marked the transfer with “renovation”, but the police are investigating the transaction as a suspected money laundering offence.

According to Wolodarski, the internal investigation carried out should not point to the fact that it affected the newspaper’s journalism.

– We know enough to be confident in the decision. And they have gone through all the reporter’s texts and cannot find any suspicion that this has affected DN’s journalism, he tells Dagens Media.

The editor-in-chief would not comment on how much they paid the reporter to quit.
