Europol Offers Support Amid Sweden's Bombings

Published: 2025-02-01

Sweden has faced a surge in bombings this year, with 32 incidents reported since January, primarily in Stockholm.

In response, Europol has offered additional support to Swedish authorities.

Linda H.

Staaf, Sweden's Europol chief, confirmed the collaboration, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in tackling crimes with global links.

Europol's assistance focuses on intelligence sharing and technology, rather than direct intervention.

Sweden will also gain increased access to Europol's databases and send more personnel to its headquarters in The Hague.

This partnership aims to strengthen Sweden's ability to address the escalating violence.
