Some 30 female police officers in Sweden allowed themselves to be seduced and exploited by gangsters to whom they gave information that later led to several deadly altercations on the streets.

    Thanks for supplementary article. I don’t really know this European Conservative website either (I just got the link) but they do mention that in the example they describe she was a cadet when they started dating. But how do cadets / police students get access to classify information about ongoing investigations?

      I would assume they participate in police work as part of the training, but that’s just a guess. :)

        Can only speak for training in Germany, but I assume Sweden is somewhat similar: During training students spend several months in police stations helping with the real work, similar to an internship. They have contacts to fully trained colleagues and also access to some internal software, which is less relevant as most of the (for them) accessible info there is public anyways, but on really rare occasions something interesting might drop accidentally.

          Interesting (and kind of creepy?). It all makes much more sense now.

          I wonder how much they were inspired by The Departed movie when planning this whole thing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
