A police officer in Gävle stands accused of data breach and risks being fired, writes Gefle Dagblad.

The police are suspected of having made unauthorized searches, which are not deemed necessary for his duties, in the police system. His son is also a plaintiff in the case.

In the event of a conviction, the police risk being fired, according to a decision by the police’s personal responsibility board. A member of the board disagreed and said there was insufficient grounds to fire the man.
