Katja Nyberg, SD Member of Parliament and police officer at Noa, has launched a private detective agency online, reports The Express.
Among other things, she must have stated that she could use her contacts and make searches in registers.
Nyberg has worked as a police officer since the 90s, and in 2013 she also launched the detective firm KN Agency, according to the newspaper.
Only in 2015 did Noa find out about her sideline. In connection with that, she was told that the agency could damage the reputation and impartiality of the police, and thus also informed that she would close the agency down.
But Expressen’s mapping shows that the detective agency is still marketed online via several different social media.
Nyberg herself denies that she offers any detective services.
– I have never run this, she tells the newspaper.

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.
