Eleven people arrested in child pornography scandal
The police in Stockholm have raided eleven addresses in connection with a child pornography scandal.
– The matters have arisen through reconnaissance and monitoring of both the open internet and the darknet. The suspects are men of varying ages and, as far as we know, have no connection to each other, says Maria Cederborg, coordinator for internet-related sexual abuse against children at the police in the Stockholm region in a press release.
Eleven people have been arrested on suspicion of child pornography offences.
The operation was carried out in the last two weeks of April.

Now she comments on the dropout in P1 Morgon.
– These are terrible accusations. Then I think it is absolutely necessary for the party leader to come out and distance himself from these abhorrent claims.
She says she asked for support from the party leadership.

Food prices are falling after soaring for over a year, TT reports.
According to Matpriskollen’s latest measurement, prices fell by 0.4 percent in April compared to March. Daily goods decreased by 0.3 percent during the same period.
This compares with the record month of February, when food prices increased by 2.5 percent compared to January.
– Lower prices, you don’t do that in this industry. It is extremely unusual, says Ulf Mazur, founder of Matpriskollen, to TT and continues:
– It’s a big break from the trend. Prices have not been reduced for at least four years.
A total of 44,000 items have been examined at all the major chains.
Ulf Mazur assesses that prices will not fall further.
– If the prices can stay at this level, and not rise any more, then that is positive, he says.

Sharp increase in the import of drug plants
Imports of the plant kratom have increased from 7.2 tons in 2020 to around 39 tons last year, P3 News reports.
The plant is legal and can, among other things, be used in soap production. But it also contains the narcotic substance mitragynine, which can produce opioid-like effects.
– 39 tonnes, that’s a huge amount. There will be a lot of soap if soap is to be made from these plants, says Jenny Åberg, an expert at the Swedish Customs Service, to the radio.
– We at the Customs are not allowed to do anything about it because at the time of import it is a plant and not classified as a drug, she continues.
According to Joakim Strandberg at the Public Health Authority, several authorities and even the government have discussed how the plant can be regulated. (TT)

What are the rules now with loose dogs?
Saw on my walk a dog running around in a paddock and a bird flying around and screaming. It probably has young or eggs in the grass.
Isn’t it tethered now?
Was it the case that the incredibly obedient dogs are allowed to go loose but then at most one leash length from the owner?
Want to be able to show the owner the correct letter when it happens again.
