Increased penalties etc.

The plan establishes that economic crime in companies leads to serious consequences and that effective monitoring of organised economic crime is needed. The counter-proposal's demand for a new category for particularly serious economic crimes, linked to organised crime as grounds, directs criminal law towards exactly what the plan points out. At the same time, the plan emphasises that penalties should be carefully designed to actually reduce crime.

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 crack down hard on the financing of organised crime and stop tax fraud, welfare crime and money laundering. A new tier of particularly serious economic offences, where connection to organised crime can raise the classification, is precisely such a measure against the economic base of crime. The plan also requires penalties in parity with crimes' seriousness and measures against the top tier.

• crack down on crime's financingdecisive»Slå hårt mot den organiserade brottslighetens finansiering och organisation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crack down hard on the financing and organisation of organised crime.”

The counter-proposal wants to introduce a new category for particularly serious economic crimes to address organized crime's economy. The plan explicitly wants to strengthen work against criminal economy, prioritize welfare fraud highly and strengthen inter-agency cooperation against money laundering and organized economic crime. The election manifesto also wants to cut off gangs' financing and make it expensive and difficult to be criminal.

• combat criminal economydecisive»Vi vill också stärka arbetet mot den kriminella ekonomin. Brottsvinster ska beslagtas och« (party programme ↗)“We also want to strengthen work against criminal economy. Criminal profits shall be seized and”

The election manifesto wants to defeat gangs among other things with stricter sentences and explicitly requires an investigation into gangs' incomes and how these can be cut off. A new crime category for tax crime, fraud, money laundering and similar with raised maximum sentence attacks precisely the economic side of organized crime. The plan additionally requires tough measures against crimes against companies and tightened rules against corruption.

• cut off gangs' incomesdecisive»Dessutom bör en utredning om gängens inkomster och hur dessa kan strypas genomföras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Moreover an investigation of gangs' incomes and how these can be cut off should be conducted.”
• stricter sentences against organized crime»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 cave in to gangs. To defeat them requires better initiatives that prevent recruitment, more resources to police, prosecutors, courts and prisons and stricter sentences.”
• tough measures against crimes against companies»krafttag mot brott emot företag« (2022 manifesto ↗)“tough measures against crimes against companies”
• tightened rules against economic crime»Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to establish an anti-corruption authority, tighten rules against corruption and introduce a lobby register.”

The plan requires stricter penalties for participation in organized crime and explicitly opens for increasing sentences in particular crime types to mark the seriousness of the crime. A new level for particularly serious economic crimes, where connection to organized crime can aggravate the offence, is an application of precisely that. The plan does not, however, mention individual economic crimes.

• stricter penalties for organized crimedecisive»Återfall och upprepad brottslighet ska ge strängare straff, liksom medverkan i organiserad brottslighet.« (party programme ↗)“Repeat and repeated crime shall result in stricter sentences, as shall participation in organized crime.”
• increased sentences»Det kan även finnas särskilda brottstyper där det kan vara befogat att skärpa straffsatserna för att underlätta rehabilitering eller markera allvaret i den kränkning som brottet utgör.« (party programme ↗)“There may also be particular crime types where it may be justified to increase sentences to facilitate rehabilitation or mark the seriousness of the violation the crime constitutes.”
• increased penalties»Vi vill avskaffa dagens mängdrabatt på brott, slopa den närmast automatiska frigivningen från fängelsestraff och skärpa straffen för bland annat vapenbrott, våldtäkt och utpressning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We wish to abolish today's volume discount on crimes, end the nearly automatic release from imprisonment and increase sentences for, among other things, weapons crimes, rape and extortion.”
• capacity in justice system»Samtidigt behöver vi fler domare och fler åklagare, och fler häkten och fängelser med fler kriminalvårdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time, we need more judges and more prosecutors, and more remand cells and prisons with more correctional officers.”

The plan wishes to address the drivers of organized crime, inter alia by confiscating criminals' status symbols, and demands that all crimes be vigorously prosecuted and that the entire justice system be expanded. A new tier for particularly serious economic crimes with a higher sentence maximum is in line with this and with the plan's emphasis on integrity in economic life.

• address criminals' financesdecisive»Beslagta kriminellas statussymboler och bekämpa på så sätt negativa förebilder som rekryterar unga in i gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Confiscate criminals' status symbols and in that way combat negative role models that recruit young people into gang crime.”
• all crimes shall be prosecuted»upprätthålla de rättsregler som beslutats. Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras,« (party programme ↗)“uphold the legal rules that have been decided. All crimes shall be vigorously and without exception prosecuted,”
• expanded justice system»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 officers require more prosecutors, courts in more places in the country and greatly expanded criminal care.”

The plan wants to toughen penalties for benefit fraud, seize gang money with reversed burden of proof, and meet organized crime with double sentences. A new level for particularly serious economic crimes, where connection to organized crime could be grounds for that classification, aligns with that. The party programme establishes that serious crimes should lead to severe sentences. The demand is supported.

• toughened penalties for benefit frauddecisive»Skärpa straffen för bidragsbrott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Toughen penalties for benefit fraud”
• access crime proceeds»Ta gängens pengar och införa en omvänd bevisbörda för att kunna beslagta gängmedlemmarnas lyxprylar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Seize gang money and introduce a reversed burden of proof to be able to confiscate gang members' luxury items”
• harsher sentences for organized crime»Införa dubbla straff för gängkriminella« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce double sentences for gang criminals”
• serious crimes lead to severe sentences»stränga straff och kännbara skadestånd« (party programme ↗)“severe sentences and tangible compensation”

The plan wants substantially increased sentences, stricter penalties for social welfare fraud and give the justice system tools to reach the organized crime's finances. The counter-proposal's requirement for a new level for particularly serious economic crimes, with organized crime connection as an aggravating factor, follows from these commitments. The plan thinks few measures are excessive against the gangs.

• stricter penalties for economic crimedecisive»Skärpa straffen för fusk inom välfärdssystemen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase penalties for fraud within the welfare systems”
• substantially increased sentences»Sverigedemokraterna vill kraftigt skärpa straffen och genomföra kraftiga satsningar på polis, åklagare och anstalter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“the Sweden Democrats want to substantially increase sentences and implement forceful investments in police, prosecutors and prisons.”
• tools against organized crime»Ge rättsväsendet resurser och verktyg för att bekämpa gängen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the justice system resources and tools to combat the gangs”
• against criminal finances»Polis, socialtjänst och kronofogde ska ges verktyg att statuera exempel och göra den kriminella livsstilen oattraktiv« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Police, social services and bailiff should be given tools to make an example and make the criminal lifestyle unattractive”
