Three men have been arrested on suspicion of gang-raping a teenage girl on a Ribersborg beach in Malmö 12 years ago, writes South Sweden.

The gang rape was reported in 2011 and the police were then able to secure DNA traces from the perpetrators. But as the police did not find any hits in the register of convicts and suspects, the investigation was dropped.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson demands answers from Hungary after the country chose to separate Sweden’s and Finland’s NATO applications.

SD threatens a government crisis if the Tidö parties do not agree on the reduction obligation, TV4 reports.
