The cross-party Committee on Fundamental Rights and Freedoms proposed that Sweden could strip dual citizenship from those committing serious crimes endangering national security, including espionage and treason.
Judge Henrik Jermsten stated that international law allows for broader revocation of citizenship for serious crimes, but the committee chose to limit the definition to those threatening national security.
The reservations from Sweden's government parties and Sweden Democrats indicated a desire to extend citizenship revocation to other severe crimes, including organized gang crimes, prompting further debate on the definitions.
Strommer noted that there exists a rationale for citizenship revocation in cases where individuals are implicated in high-level criminal networks orchestrating serious offenses like murder in Sweden.
