The new law allows police to seize items believed to be bought with money from illicit activities, impacting even minors without formal crime accusations. Critics express concerns.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson described the law as 'the biggest reform since the criminal code was introduced' in 1965, highlighting its significance amidst rising gang-related violence.
The law's implementation, including 56 cases already initiated by police, faces scrutiny over the lack of a presumption of innocence, raising legal and ethical concerns.
With Sweden experiencing a surge in gang-related violence, the law aims at curbing criminal activities by targeting property and possessions linked to suspected criminal behavior.
