Sightings all the way to Denmark are of interest to the police in the search for the missing 16-year-old girl.
The police themselves write that on their website.
The girl was last seen at her residence on Saturday night in Gnesta, and the police suspect that someone has kidnapped her.
The picture of what has happened is beginning to clear to some extent.
“Most likely, she and the person or people who are with her must have stopped at various stops along the way. It is therefore extra interesting to have observations from, for example, gas stations, rest stops and restaurants along the roads.”
Eva Wintzell is a prosecutor at the national unit against international and organized crime.
– We know quite a bit, but we have a reasonable suspicion of kidnapping, she has previously told Aftonbladet.

Marianne Andreasson
Hi Marianne!
I asked the question to Vidar Lindgren, who is a press spokesperson at the Financial Supervisory Authority. He replied like this:

Why is Turkey so negative about Sweden’s entry into NATO? It can’t be because of Paludan, because the Turks were in trouble even before he burned the Koran. What are we doing wrong according to them?
