Information flow from the crime-prevention authorities
Information flow from law-enforcement authorities to municipalities
What's at stake: Without such information flow, municipalities risk procuring and funding services, like residential care homes, without knowing they are run by criminal actors, while expanded information-sharing also raises questions about confidentiality and how sensitive police data should be handled by municipalities.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether the government should now be instructed to draft legislation giving police both the ability and the duty to share information with municipalities — for example about criminal involvement in residential care homes that municipalities procure — beyond the information flow to law enforcement already proposed.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee rejects the motion calling on the government to bring forward legislation on information flow from law-enforcement authorities to, for example, municipalities.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 6 (S)
The reservation is fundamentally positive toward the proposals but wants the government to promptly bring forward legislation giving law-enforcement authorities both the ability and the duty to share relevant information with municipalities that procure services, such as residential care homes, after it emerged that criminal actors have been able to run such homes without the municipalities' knowledge.
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 6 by S.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
The decision would have gone the other way
Explicit commitments that contradicted the vote: KDKristdemokraterna, LLiberalerna, MModeraterna, MPMiljöpartiet
Ja 186–95Nej 84–197
Counterfactual: the parties above are moved to the position their own documents explicitly point at, carrying their whole contingent present. Every other party keeps its real figures, including dissenters and absentees.
How the AI parties would have voted
For each party: what its own plan – election manifesto and party programme – argues for in this case, next to how the party actually voted. The AI can only answer Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Committee proposal
The Riksdag rejects the motion 2024/25:3284 by Teresa Carvalho et al. (S) amendment 2.
Original (Swedish)
Riksdagen avslår motion 2024/25:3284 av Teresa Carvalho m.fl. (S) yrkande 2.
Riksdag decision: The Riksdag approved the government's proposal for a new law which means that municipalities, regions, schools, and a number of state agencies, notwithstanding confidentiality provisions, shall provide certain information to the Police Authority and other crime-prevention authorities. This obligation means that information shall be provided upon request but also that information shall be provided on the authority's own initiative. The Riksdag also approved the government's proposal which means that social services and health and medical care shall be given greater opportunities to provide information that is of significance for crime prevention. The proposed rules give the crime-prevention authorities improved opportunities to access information held by other actors about, for example, crimes committed, suspected criminal schemes, and individuals with links to criminality. This gives them better conditions to prevent and combat crime as well as to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in criminality. The new law and legislative changes come into force on April 1, 2025.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants to replace the proposed duty for school rectors to proactively share information with law enforcement. (S) — Reservation 6
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 wants to move toward greater societal oversight of companies where needed to combat fraud, and effective monitoring of organized economic crime.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan wants to move toward greater societal oversight of companies where needed to combat fraud, and effective monitoring of organized economic crime. Criminal law enforcement authorities being able and obligated to warn municipalities purchasing services from criminal actors is in line with this, since the election manifesto points out that welfare privatizations have opened the door for criminals to profit from taxpayers' money. At the same time, the plan maintains that oversight is not enough without profit bans.
Original (Swedish)
Planen vill gå mot en större samhällelig insyn i företag där det behövs för att stävja fusk, och en effektiv uppföljning av den organiserade ekonomiska brottsligheten. Att brottsbekämpande myndigheter ska kunna och vara skyldiga att varna kommuner som upphandlar verksamheter av kriminella aktörer ligger i linje med det, eftersom valplattformen pekar ut att privatiseringarna av välfärden öppnat för kriminella att sko sig på skattemedel. Planen menar samtidigt att kontroll inte räcker utan vinstförbud.
- oversight of companiesdecisive»Vi vill gå mot en större samhällelig insyn« (party programme ↗)“We want to move toward greater societal oversight”
- crime in welfare companies»Privatiseringarna av välfärden öppnar upp för kriminella att sko sig på skattemedel.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Welfare privatizations open the door for criminals to profit from taxpayers' money.”
- monitoring of economic crime»Det behövs en effektiv uppföljning av den organiserade« (party programme ↗)“There is a need for effective monitoring of organized”
- profit ban as main means»Brotten mot välfärden bekämpas bäst genom att det inte går att göra vinster vare sig på barn eller på sjuka och gamla människor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crimes against welfare are best combated by ensuring that profits cannot be made from children or from sick and elderly people.”
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 explicitly requires that secrecy barriers between government agencies are torn down so police and other professions can do their jobs, and that welfare crime and criminal financing are stopped.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan explicitly requires that secrecy barriers between government agencies are torn down so police and other professions can do their jobs, and that welfare crime and criminal financing are stopped. That crime-fighting authorities both get the opportunity and the obligation to share information with municipalities that procure, for instance, care homes is precisely an application of this. The plan also calls for more cooperation between police, social services and schools.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver uttryckligen att sekretesshinder mellan myndigheter rivs så att polisen och andra yrkesgrupper kan göra sitt jobb, och att välfärdsbrottslighet och kriminellas finansiering stoppas. Att brottsbekämpande myndigheter både får möjlighet och skyldighet att dela information med kommuner som upphandlar exempelvis HVB är precis en tillämpning av det. Planen efterlyser också mer samarbete mellan polis, socialtjänst och skola.

The election manifesto wishes to stop the financing of criminal gangs through strengthened inter-agency coordination so that authorities can strike at the organised crime's enterprises, and ease the confidentiality restrictions between agencies in preventive work.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto wishes to stop the financing of criminal gangs through strengthened inter-agency coordination so that authorities can strike at the organised crime's enterprises, and ease the confidentiality restrictions between agencies in preventive work. The plan sees serious organised crime as a threat to democracy and requires that quality weighs heavily in public procurement. That crime-fighting authorities both get the opportunity and are obliged to warn municipalities that procure activities thus follows from these commitments.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet vill stoppa finansieringen av de kriminella gängen genom stärkt myndighetssamverkan så att myndigheterna kan slå till mot den organiserade brottslighetens företag, och lätta på sekretessen mellan myndigheter i det förebyggande arbetet. Planen ser den grova organiserade brottsligheten som ett hot mot demokratin och kräver att kvalitet väger tungt vid upphandling. Att brottsbekämpande myndigheter både får möjlighet och skyldighet att varna kommuner som upphandlar verksamheter följer av dessa åtaganden.

The election manifesto wants to choke gang revenues and tighten ownership verification and information sharing so that publicly funded activities do not end up in the wrong hands.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto wants to choke gang revenues and tighten ownership verification and information sharing so that publicly funded activities do not end up in the wrong hands. That crime-fighting authorities both have the opportunity and obligation to share relevant information with municipalities that procure, for example, HVB services meets the same commitment. That the information concerns businesses and not individuals means that the privacy principle weighs more lightly here.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet vill strypa gängens inkomster och skärpa ägarprövning och informationsdelning så att offentligt finansierad verksamhet inte hamnar i orätta händer. Att brottsbekämpande myndigheter både får möjlighet och skyldighet att dela relevant information med kommuner som upphandlar exempelvis HVB träffar samma åtagande. Att informationen rör företag och inte enskilda gör att integritetsprincipen väger lättare här.
- choke gang revenuesdecisive»Dessutom bör en utredning om gängens inkomster och hur dessa kan strypas genomföras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Furthermore, an investigation into gang revenues and how these can be choked should be carried out.”
- tightened ownership verification»Vi vill också skärpa tillståndsprövningen för utländska ägare, se till att skolorna delar mer information och skapa ett mer aktivt skolval för alla.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We also want to tighten licensing for foreign owners, ensure that schools share more information and create more active school choice for all.”
- crackdown on gangs»Samhället ska inte vika sig för gängen. För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society should not give way to gangs. To defeat them requires better preventive efforts, more resources for police, prosecutors, courts and the criminal justice system and tougher sentences.”

The counter-proposal's requirement that crime-fighting authorities shall be able and be obliged to share information with municipalities that procure for example care homes or housing is precisely such an arrangement.

The plan explicitly commits to removing all confidentiality barriers between social services and police, and it wants to stop tax money from ending up with criminals. That law enforcement agencies both have the opportunity and duty to share information with municipalities that procure, for example, residential treatment facilities follows directly from this. Without such information the municipality cannot prevent criminal actors from getting contracts with tax money.
