(Local) Stockholm is initiating a new collaboration with police and prosecutors to deal with people who have returned to the Swedish capital after joining the terrorist group Isis.
Stockholm Mayor Anna König Jerlmyr told Sveriges Radio that the city has thus far identified 19 individuals who have returned from the terrorist group Isis and who can be suspected of war crimes.
According to König [Jerlmyr], the individuals have been found through a new collaboration in which local social services contact Sweden’s Security Service (Säkerhetspolisen), which in turn then opens up an investigation.
“We are working together to gather information about these individuals. The police have not worked like this before, but now we’ve connected with the National Unit Against Organised Crime and the head prosecutor there, Lise Tamm, who welcomes this,” she said.
