The government wants to investigate whether even those who do not participate in a gang – but have contact with it – can be punished. A new investigation is now being added.
The government and the Swedish Democrats agree to ban participation in criminal gangs.
Earlier this year, suggestions came on how this can be done by changing the Constitution. But it must also be written a special law that states what the criminalization should look like in the criminal code, for example what the severe punishment should be.
Now the government is appointing the investigation to look at this issue.
In addition, the investigator should look at whether criminalization should also include those who do not participate in a bunch, but who have otherwise been involved in it.
“Regardless of the position in substance”, the investigator must submit such a proposal, according to the Ministry of Justice.
However, it takes time before a ban may be in place. Since it is a constitutional change, it can only happen after the next election.
It is already prohibited in Sweden to participate in a terrorist organization. It became illegal in 2023. So far, six people have been convicted of terrorist participation, including the two brothers who were arrested in a well -known strike by Säpo in Tyresö.
