Mapping of security risks related to the judiciary's facility management
Mapping of security risks linked to the judicial system's premises supply
What's at stake: Courts, prisons and other judicial authorities sometimes rent premises from private landlords, and there are examples of socially critical properties being owned by companies with links to serious crime. The question is whether parliament and the public should have full insight into who owns these premises, in order to reduce the risk of criminal actors gaining influence over security-sensitive operations.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The motion called for the government to commission an inquiry mapping how large a share of the judicial system's premises are owned by private property companies and how many of those have links to serious crime, while the committee held that the legislative work already under way in the area made a further initiative unnecessary.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee rejects the motion, noting that the issue of security risks linked to authorities' premises supply has already been highlighted by the government and that legislative work in the area is under way, based on the premise that criminal actors should neither have influence over nor profit from public operations. The committee therefore sees no reason to take further initiative on the matter.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 3 (V)
The reserving party (V) wants the government to commission an inquiry mapping how large a share of the judicial system's properties are owned by private companies and how many of those have links to serious crime, since it is not appropriate for socially critical properties to remain outside democratic oversight and risk being sold on to disreputable or criminal owners.
Summarised from the committee report. Party labels in the summary come from the report, not from the vote.
What do the votes mean here?
Yes The committee proposal: rejecting the motions (keeping things as they are).
No Backing the counter-proposal: reservation 3 by V.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
What each plan points to — and how the party voted
For each party: the vote its own election manifesto and party programme point to in this case, next to how the party actually voted. A plan can only point to Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Committee proposal
Parliament rejects the motion 2025/26:2788 by Gudrun Nordborg et al. (V) item 1.
Original (Swedish)
Riksdagen avslår motion 2025/26:2788 av Gudrun Nordborg m.fl. (V) yrkande 1.
Riksdag decision: Parliament rejected 51 proposals on procedural law matters. The proposals were submitted during the general motion period of 2025 and deal with, among other things, secret coercive measures, service of documents, and mapping of security risks related to the judiciary's facility management. Parliament refers primarily to the fact that work is already underway in the areas covered by the proposals and to earlier parliamentary decisions.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants to appoint an investigation to map what proportion of justice sector facilities are owned by private companies and how many have connections to serious crime. (V) — Reservation 3
Plan vs actual vote
Every party, in chamber order: what its own plan pointed to, how it voted, and the reasoning behind both. Highlighted rows are where the two differ — but a vote that follows the plan is a result too, so the reasoning is there for every party.
The plan's decisive commitment is to take back socially important activities and infrastructure that has been privatized and that the state should increase its control over infrastructure.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan's decisive commitment is to take back socially important activities and infrastructure that has been privatized and that the state should increase its control over infrastructure. The counter-proposal's requirement for a mapping of private ownership of justice system properties and connections to serious crime is directly in that line, particularly as the plan states that privatizations have opened for criminals to profit from taxpayer funds. The plan also wants greater public insight into companies.
Original (Swedish)
Planens avgörande åtagande är att ta tillbaka samhällsviktig verksamhet och infrastruktur som privatiserats och att staten ska öka sin kontroll över infrastruktur. Motförslagets krav på en kartläggning av privat ägande av rättsväsendets fastigheter och kopplingar till grov brottslighet ligger direkt i den linjen, särskilt som planen konstaterar att privatiseringar öppnat för kriminella att sko sig på skattemedel. Planen vill också ha större samhällelig insyn i företag.
- återta privatiserad infrastrukturdecisive»Det är hög tid att agera och ta tillbaka den samhällsviktiga verksamhet och infrastruktur som har privatiserats.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is high time to act and take back the socially important activities and infrastructure that has been privatized.”
- kriminella i ägarstrukturer»Privatiseringarna av välfärden öppnar upp för kriminella att sko sig på skattemedel.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Privatizations of welfare open up for criminals to profit from taxpayer funds.”

- större samhällelig insyn»Vi vill gå mot en större samhällelig insyn« (party programme ↗)“We want to move toward greater public insight”
The party programme requires democratic control over welfare and socially important functions and explicitly warns against socially important functions being transferred to private market actors who in the worst case are controlled by foreign power.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The party programme requires democratic control over welfare and socially important functions and explicitly warns against socially important functions being transferred to private market actors who in the worst case are controlled by foreign power. Court buildings are such a socially important function. A mapping of private ownership and links to serious crime is a direct expression of the plan's requirement for control and for forceful combating of organized crime.
Original (Swedish)
Partiprogrammet kräver demokratisk kontroll över välfärden och samhällsviktiga funktioner och varnar uttryckligen för att samhällsfunktioner överlåts till privata marknadsaktörer som i värsta fall kontrolleras av främmande makt. Rättsväsendets lokaler är en sådan samhällsviktig funktion. En kartläggning av privat ägande och kopplingar till grov brottslighet är ett direkt uttryck för planens krav på kontroll och på kraftfullt bekämpande av organiserad kriminalitet.
- kontroll över samhällsviktiga funktionerdecisive»Demokratisk kontroll över välfärden och samhällsviktiga funktioner.« (party programme ↗)“Democratic control over welfare and socially important functions.”
- risker med privat ägande»privata marknadsaktörer, som i värsta fall kontrolleras av främmande makt.« (party programme ↗)“private market actors, who in the worst case are controlled by foreign power.”
- bekämpa organiserad brottslighet»Kraftfullt bekämpande av organiserad kriminell verksamhet.« (party programme ↗)“Forceful combating of organized criminal activity.”
- robusthet i samhällets funktioner»Stark infrastruktur för stärkt beredskap.« (party programme ↗)“Strong infrastructure for strengthened preparedness.”
The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.
The plan wants to cut off organised crime's finances and attack its businesses from multiple directions through strengthened agency cooperation.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan wants to cut off organised crime's finances and attack its businesses from multiple directions through strengthened agency cooperation. Mapping which judicial system properties are owned by companies with links to serious crime is a direct expression of that commitment. The plan also states that work against criminal economics should be strengthened and that criminal proceeds should be taken from gangs.
Original (Swedish)
Planen vill strypa den organiserade brottslighetens ekonomi och slå till mot dess företag från flera håll genom stärkt myndighetssamverkan. Att kartlägga vilka av rättsväsendets fastigheter som ägs av bolag med kopplingar till grov brottslighet är ett direkt uttryck för det åtagandet. Planen slår också fast att arbetet mot den kriminella ekonomin ska stärkas och att brottsvinster ska tas ifrån gängen.
- stop gang financingdecisive»stoppa finansieringen av de kriminella gängen genom att stärka myndighetssamverkan« (2022 manifesto ↗)“stop the financing of criminal gangs through strengthened agency cooperation”
- combat criminal economics»Vi vill också stärka arbetet mot den kriminella ekonomin. Brottsvinster ska beslagtas« (party programme ↗)“We also want to strengthen work against criminal economics. Criminal proceeds shall be seized”
- unprofitable to be criminal»Det ska vara dyrt, jobbigt och svårt att vara kriminell.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It shall be expensive, difficult and hard to be criminal.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that an investigation into gangs' income and how it can be cut off be conducted.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto explicitly requires that an investigation into gangs' income and how it can be cut off be conducted. The counter-proposal's mapping of who owns the justice system's properties and what links to serious crime exist is precisely such a measure to cut off criminal income. The plan's demand for an anti-corruption authority and tightened corruption rules point in the same direction.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet kräver uttryckligen att en utredning om gängens inkomster och hur dessa kan strypas genomförs. Motförslagets kartläggning av vem som äger rättsväsendets fastigheter och vilka kopplingar till grov brottslighet som finns är just en sådan åtgärd för att strypa kriminella intäkter. Planens krav på antikorruptionsmyndighet och skärpta korruptionsregler pekar åt samma håll.
- investigate and cut off gang incomedecisive»Dessutom bör en utredning om gängens inkomster och hur dessa kan strypas genomföras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Furthermore, an investigation into gangs' income and how it can be cut off should be conducted.”
- no concessions to gangs»Samhället ska inte vika sig för gängen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society must not give way to gangs.”
- counter corruption in public sector»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent. Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden must become even more transparent. We want to establish an anti-corruption authority, tighten rules against corruption and introduce a lobbying register.”
- strengthened social preparedness»Även det civila försvaret är livsviktigt. Vi måste rusta civilförsvaret och samhällets beredskap inför krig och kris.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Civil defence too is vital. We must strengthen civil defence and society's preparedness for war and crisis.”

The plan sees undemocratic actors' acquisition of strategic assets as a security issue and states that the rule of law shall be strengthened and that no tax funds shall go to activities that work against fundamental democratic values.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan sees undemocratic actors' acquisition of strategic assets as a security issue and states that the rule of law shall be strengthened and that no tax funds shall go to activities that work against fundamental democratic values. A survey of which real estate assets of the justice system are owned by companies with links to serious crime answers this. The plan's general position is however that private ownership in itself is desirable, so the support applies to the survey and not to nationalization.
Original (Swedish)
Planen ser odemokratiska aktörers förvärv av strategiska tillgångar som en säkerhetsfråga och slår fast att rättsstaten ska stärkas och att inga skattemedel ska gå till verksamheter som motarbetar grundläggande demokratiska värderingar. En kartläggning av vilka av rättsväsendets fastigheter som ägs av bolag med kopplingar till grov brottslighet svarar mot detta. Planens allmänna hållning är dock att privat ägande i sig är önskvärt, så stödet gäller kartläggningen och inte ett förstatligande.
- strategic assets are a security matterdecisive»Den utveckling där odemokratiska eller rentav totalitära stater förvärvar strategiska tillgångar i demokratiska länder, till exempel hamnar, elnät eller liknande, måste ses i ett säkerhetspolitiskt perspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“The development where undemocratic or even totalitarian states acquire strategic assets in democratic countries, for example ports, power grids or similar, must be seen in a security policy perspective.”
- no tax funds to criminals»Inga skattemedel ska gå till verksamheter som vill förändra det demokratiska samhället med våld eller på annat sätt motarbetar grundläggande demokratiska värderingar.« (party programme ↗)“No tax funds shall go to activities that want to change democratic society through violence or otherwise work against fundamental democratic values.”
- strengthened rule of law»Rättsstaten ska stärkas. Sverige ska vara ett tryggt land att leva i.« (party programme ↗)“The rule of law shall be strengthened. Sweden shall be a safe country to live in.”
- restrictive public ownership»Det offentliga ska endast driva affärsverksamhet om det finns ett starkt samhällsintresse.« (party programme ↗)“Public authorities shall only conduct business activities if there is a strong public interest.”

The election manifesto requires an expanded justice system with courts in more places in the country and that criminals' assets be seized, and the party programme builds confidence in the justice system on effective crime combat.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto requires an expanded justice system with courts in more places in the country and that criminals' assets be seized, and the party programme builds confidence in the justice system on effective crime combat. Mapping how much of the justice system's property is owned by private companies with connections to serious crime is a prerequisite for criminals not to profit from or gain influence over the justice system. The requirement is supported, but the plan does not address facility provision directly.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet kräver ett utbyggt rättsväsende med domstolar på fler platser i landet och att kriminellas tillgångar beslagtas, och partiprogrammet bygger tilltron till rättssamhället på att brottsbekämpningen är effektiv. Att kartlägga hur stor del av rättsväsendets fastigheter som ägs av privata bolag med kopplingar till grov brottslighet är en förutsättning för att kriminella inte ska tjäna pengar på eller få inflytande över rättsväsendet. Kravet stöds, men planen behandlar inte lokalförsörjning direkt.
- expanded justice systemdecisive»Hela rättsväsendet behöver byggas ut. Fler poliser kräver fler åklagare, domstolar på fler platser i landet och en kraftigt utbyggd kriminalvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The entire justice system needs to be expanded. More police require more prosecutors, courts in more places in the country and a vastly expanded criminal care.”
- seize criminals' assets»Beslagta kriminellas statussymboler och bekämpa på så sätt negativa förebilder som rekryterar unga in i gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Seize criminals' status symbols and combat in that way negative role models that recruit young people into gang crime.”
- confidence in the justice system»Tilltron till rättssamhället bygger på att människorna kan förlita sig på att en effektiv brottsbekämpning och en fri och oberoende rättskipning ger trygghet för personlig integritet och egendom.« (party programme ↗)“Confidence in the justice system is built on people being able to rely on effective crime combat and a free and independent administration of justice providing security for personal integrity and property.”
- independent courts»Domstolarna ska stå fria och oberoende från statsmakterna och handlägga mål och ärenden på ett rättssäkert och effektivt sätt.« (party programme ↗)“Courts shall stand free and independent from the state authorities and handle cases and matters in a legally secure and efficient way.”

The plan uses mapping throughout as a tool against criminal infiltration and commits to, among other things, giving the Swedish Crime Survey in the mission to map the criminal clans.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan uses mapping throughout as a tool against criminal infiltration and commits to, among other things, giving the Swedish Crime Survey in the mission to map the criminal clans. It also wants the state to support security-sensitive activities against attacks and that gangs' money and assets be taken from them. Mapping who owns the justice system's premises and whether ownership has connections to serious crime thus aligns directly with these commitments.
Original (Swedish)
Planen använder genomgående kartläggning som verktyg mot kriminell infiltration och åtar sig bland annat att ge Brå i uppdrag att kartlägga de kriminella klanerna. Den vill också att staten stöttar säkerhetskänslig verksamhet mot angrepp och att gängens pengar och tillgångar tas ifrån dem. Att kartlägga vem som äger rättsväsendets lokaler och om ägandet har kopplingar till grov brottslighet ligger direkt i linje med dessa åtaganden.
- map criminal structuresdecisive»Ge Brå i uppdrag att kartlägga de kriminella klaner som är aktiva i Sverige idag« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the Swedish Crime Survey the mission to map the criminal clans that are active in Sweden today”
- protection of security-sensitive activities»Ge företag som är engagerade i säkerhetskänslig verksamhet bättre stöd från staten att kunna möta cyberattacker, spionage och stöldförsök från främmande makt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give companies engaged in security-sensitive activities better support from the state to be able to meet cyberattacks, espionage and theft attempts from foreign powers”
- take gangs' money»Ta gängens pengar och införa en omvänd bevisbörda för att kunna beslagta gängmedlemmarnas lyxprylar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Take gangs' money and introduce reversed burden of proof to be able to seize gang members' luxury items”
- strengthened security protection»Stärka Säkerhetspolisen för att öka deras förmåga att skydda den liberala demokratin och landets alla medborgare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen the Security Police to increase their capacity to protect liberal democracy and the country's all citizens”

The plan establishes that clans and organized crime that infiltrate government bodies are a growing threat to the democratic model and that the power of clans within the public should be countered.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan establishes that clans and organized crime that infiltrate government bodies are a growing threat to the democratic model and that the power of clans within the public should be countered. It also believes that central government functions such as the justice system should be under state control. Mapping who owns the justice system's premises and whether the owners have connections to serious crime is a direct application of these commitments. Therefore, the plan supports the counter-proposal's requirement.
Original (Swedish)
Planen slår fast att klaner och organiserad brottslighet som infiltrerar samhällsorgan är ett växande hot mot den demokratiska modellen och att klanernas makt inom det offentliga ska motverkas. Den anser också att centrala samhällsfunktioner som rättsväsendet bör stå under statlig kontroll. Att kartlägga vem som äger rättsväsendets lokaler och om ägarna har kopplingar till grov brottslighet är en direkt tillämpning av dessa åtaganden. Därför stöder planen motförslagets krav.
- counter criminal infiltrationdecisive»Att klaner, organiserad brottslighet och islamister infiltrerar samhällsorgan är ett växande hot mot den demokratiska modellen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“That clans, organized crime and Islamists infiltrate government bodies is a growing threat to the democratic model.”
- break clan power»Motverka klanernas makt, både inom det offentliga och inom civilsamhället« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Counter the power of clans, both within the public and within civil society”
- state control over essential functions»försvar och väsentliga delar av vår infrastruktur bör stå under statlig kontroll« (party programme ↗)“defence and essential parts of our infrastructure should be under state control”
- tools against gangs»Ge rättsväsendet resurser och verktyg för att bekämpa gängen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the justice system resources and tools to combat gangs”
The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.
