Swedish Police: Government Covering Up Huge Migrant Crime Spree

A Swedish police officer put his career and even his liberty on the line — in Sweden, even the truth can get you jailed for “hate speech” — to give his countrymen what he viewed as an urgent warning. Writing on Facebook February 3, the senior detective, Peter Springare, explained that Swedish authorities were covering up a massive crime wave among primarily African and Middle Eastern migrants that has law enforcement and the rest of society’s institutions on the brink. The revelations, subsequently echoed by another officer who stepped forward to confirm Springare’s report, blew a giant hole in the Swedish government’s imploding narrative.

The Swedish officer turned whistleblower, a 47-year veteran of law enforcement, painted a picture of absolute chaos — and that is just in the small town of Örebro with just over 100,000 residents. “Here we go; this is what I’ve handled from Monday-Friday this week: rape, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, rape-assault and rape, extortion, blackmail, assault, violence against police, threats to police, drug crime, drugs, crime, felony, attempted murder, rape again, extortion again and ill-treatment,” Springare wrote. The suspects, he continued, are virtually all African and Middle Eastern migrants.

He noted that the week-long crime spree he described was only in Örebro. But other Swedish cities are also on the brink. Last month, for example, the police chief in Malmö, one of Sweden’s largest and most immigrant-heavy cities, pleaded for help amid a wave of murders, bombings, rapes, assaults, and more. “We cannot do it on our own,” Chief Stefan Sinteus wrote in an open letter, describing an “upward spiral of violence.” The city of about 350,000 had 52 bombings with grenades last year, according to statistics from the Swedish police.
