Sweden investigates sex assault cover-up
About 50 Afghan men were involved in 2014 sexual assaults, according to Swedish media.
In the wake of the German New Year’s Eve sexual-assault scandal, Swedish law enforcement authorities are looking into claims that a gang of mostly Afghan men harassed girls at a 2014 music festival — an incident that initially went unreported by police.
About 50 youths predominantly from Afghanistan, according to sources quoted by the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, were involved in sexual assaults involving girls as young as 11 years old. After the incident, Stockholm police reported that “there have been relatively few crimes,” but information leaked to Dagens Nyheter paints a different picture.
The Stockholm police head of communications, Varg Gyllander, said it was wrong not to speak openly about the 2014 attacks at the time, and an investigation is underway into how the communication department handled the case.
“We should have communicated that. I actually do not know why it did not happen,” Gyllander told Swedish Radio.
Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said the incident is “a double betrayal” for the women involved and a “big democratic problem” for his country.

Compare this police reaction to the way Julian Assange is being treated by the Swedes.
