Authorities in the US and Sweden are now investigating a Swedish alcolock company for corruption linked to Turkish President Erdogan’s son Bilal Erdogan.

Reuters reports.

The company, which is owned by an American investment company, is suspected of having promised payments of tens of millions of dollars in exchange for the president’s son’s help in securing the company’s monopoly in Turkey.

However, the money should never have been paid out, writes the news agency.

Gröna Lund will be closed for at least a week after Sunday’s fatal accident.

This causes the amusement park to lose around SEK 50 million, reports say Echo.

“What this will mean for us financially is not something we think about at the moment,” writes Gröna Lund to the channel.

A patient who had extra care at a hospital died due to a cardiac arrest, reports TT, which refers to local media.

Now the region’s investigation shows that an employee who was supposed to watch over the patient may have fallen asleep and that the patient therefore did not receive the cardiopulmonary resuscitation that it may have needed.

– We do not know if CPR could have saved the patient’s life, but it is possible, writes Minna Mattsson, head of orthopedics at the Västernorrland region, in a press release.

A man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of breaking furniture in a shop in Karlstad.

The police were alerted to the incident at around 6.50pm. The man must then have used an attachment when he destroyed the interior.

The man has also broken a window of a neighboring game shop.

He was arrested on the spot by several patrols.

Since last Friday, a large forest fire has raged in Målarberget between Avesta and Norberg.

On Monday, the emergency services announced that they had managed to put out the fire at 4 pm – but when the fire engines were on their way from the scene, the fire flared up again.

– It was almost finished when it started to burn again, says Jessica Hagberg press contact for the rescue service.

The fire is once again being fought by rescue personnel and the majority of helicopters that waterbomb the forest.

– We have no forecast. There is a fear that it could also burn for several days this time.

Two people have been hit by a tram in central Gothenburg.

Ambulance and police have been called to the scene.

A man in his 50s and a woman in his 65s have been taken to hospital by ambulance.

The tram has been taken out of service for a technical examination.

Västtrafik has now announced that traffic is running again.

A man is said to have been robbed on his watch by two perpetrators who were armed with knife-like objects in Stockholm.

The alarm was received by the police shortly before 19:00 on Monday.

The perpetrators also allegedly threatened the man’s company before running from the scene.

The police have had a search operation, but have not found the suspects.

The incident is being investigated as aggravated robbery and attempted robbery.

A passenger car has overturned and ended up on its roof in central Gothenburg.

Two people are said to have been in the car, say the police.

The extent of the damage is unclear.

The public prosecutor’s office now announces that the police investigation into the fatal accident at Gröna Lund is being investigated by the National Unit for Environmental and Work Environment Cases.

– What I can say at the moment is that the preliminary investigation is going on intensively to clarify what happened and whether anyone can be held accountable for crimes in connection with the incident, says senior prosecutor Christer B. Jarlås, and continues:

– Initially, for our part, it is about investigating the crimes causing the death of another, causing bodily harm and causing danger to another and whether someone or a few should be served with suspicion for those crimes.

He also says that a large number of interrogations have been held and that more will be held.

– It is about interviews with visitors to Gröna Lund yesterday, those who were affected in various ways by the incident and who have been able to give testimonies, staff at Gröna Lund, staff who were on site from the emergency services and healthcare staff and others. It is still far too early to draw any conclusions or make any further comments, says Christer B. Jarlås.
