E62: How money laundering is fuelling Sweden’s gang crime epidemic

With over 130 bomb attacks, a record numbers of shootings, and a criminal network estimated to include over 30,000 individuals – Sweden is in the grip of an organised gang crime problem like it’s never seen before.


The magnitude of this issue became global news when Sweden’s Prime Minister called on the military to take to the streets and help combat the violence.


In this podcast, we're moving the lens away from the violence on the streets - and looking behind the scenes - to the flow of money which fuels it.


In this week's episode – our host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by Jörgen Holmlund, Lecturer in Intelligence Analysis at the Swedish Defence University, as well as Viveka Strangert, Independent Consultant and Speaker.


They discuss the current issues, the connections to money laundering, and the techniques to combat it.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon
