On January 15th, Sweden's Committee on Fundamental Rights and Freedoms proposed amending the constitution to allow dual citizens who commit severe crimes threatening national security, including espionage and high treason, to lose their citizenship. Although they did not include gang crime in this proposal, government parties expressed a desire to expand the list. Recent discussions indicate the government may pursue legislation to cover gang criminals as well. Opposition parties raised concerns about the clarity of the law, prompting the government to explore both constitutional and regular legal pathways to address gang-related crime.
A dual citizen could lose citizenship for crimes threatening Sweden's security such as espionage, but the law lacks clarity on gang criminality.
The government intends to include gang criminals in the citizenship revocation law, despite opposition arguing that the law is not clear enough.
To regain control from gangs, the government is advancing its position, emphasizing a multifaceted approach that Sweden hasn't pursued before.
The proposal to amend the constitution requires two parliamentary votes, limiting the immediate feasibility of citizenship revocation.
