No new government support money for SAS
Crisis-affected airline SAS ended 2022 with a substantial loss, reports E24. SAS is now carrying out a reconstruction and announced today that the company had SEK 5.1 billion in cash at the end of December. At the end of November, the figure was SEK 7.2 billion. During 2023, the airline needs to bring in new capital, but the Swedish state, which owns 21.8 percent of the company, will not push for any new support money.
Last summer, the then minister of business Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson announced that SAS could not count on any new government support.
To a question from Aftonbladet, the Ministry of Finance replied this evening that the new government, despite the losses in the company, maintains the same line as the previous one.

Police have shut down large ransomware network
In an international effort, the police have shut down the extortion network Hive, the police write in a press release.
Europol has coordinated the effort in which several countries, including Sweden, participated – something that led to the US, together with Germany and the Netherlands, being able to shut down Hive’s IT infrastructure and platform, according to the police.
In the past year, the network has struck with ransomware attacks against, among other things, schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure.
The effort has led to ransom sums of over SEK 1.3 billion being able to be stopped.
– By the fact that the affected companies reported to the police early that they had been subjected to a ransomware attack, we have been able to prevent the ransom having to be paid for some, says Dan Håland, group manager at the regional IT crime center in the South region.
At least 48 salmonella-infected eggs
At least 48 people have been infected with salmonella after eating eggs from laying hens at CA Cedergren. This is stated by the Public Health Agency, reports The barometer.
The cases are found in 13 different regions in Sweden and the people have fallen ill between December 7, 2022 and January 13, 2023.
– It is likely that more cases of illness may be added as it remains to type salmonella from already reported salmonella-infected persons who state that they have eaten dishes with raw eggs from the recalled batches, says Rikard Dryselius, investigator at the Public Health Agency.
In early January, several food chains recalled large batches of eggs after alarms about salmonella.
However, the Public Health Authority urges the public to keep track of which eggs they have at home.

Hi, I wonder if it is still possible to see the green comet from Gothenburg
K å Johansson
Hey! The best chance to see the green comet seems to have been on January 21 and 22. But even now, during the last week of January, it seems you can catch a glimpse of it, if the sky is cloudless and you have good binoculars!
Why is it not a crime to buy drugs in Sweden, only to sell them?
Thuja
Hey! It is a crime to buy, use and sell narcotics in Sweden.
The Kristersson government must be the most pathetic and pitiful ever! Why don’t they dare to face the consequences of their policies? They keep secret who gets electricity subsidies and how much, for 20 years!!! Why!?
Lars
Hey! The government states that it is about wanting to protect “individuals’ personal circumstances”. They have also referred to the security policy situation.
Freedom of speech, ok, but when does it cross the line. Hang a lifelike doll, burn book revered by millions.
Is there no legal scope to prosecute them for blasphemy, personal persecution, etc.?
gunner current sheet
The blasphemy law was abolished in 1949.
The Freedom of Religion Act was abolished in 1970 because freedom of expression weighs more heavily.
Unlawful persecution means committing several criminal violations against one and the same person.
The burning of the Koran has been investigated for incitement against a ethnic group, but in Sweden you can express strong disrespect for a religion. It is not the same as expressing it to the believers.
