I was just reporting on the conclusion by the internal investigation.

She didn't go the the Police Academy, but she was qualified as a police officer through internal training programmes. She has Candidate of Law degree and a Bachelor's degree in economics and was the CFO of one of Sweden's seven police regions before the appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. It doesn't look like she was underqualified, but I'm sure many would have liked to see a "real cop" in the position.

Additional info from Swedish news:

The internal investigation concluded four cases of bias, or whatever the legal term is in English: 1) Issuing her with a service weapon, 2) giving her a raise, 3) approving subsidiary occupation as a writer and 4) extending her appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. Her privileges and raise were not necessarily unjustified, it's just that there was an undisclosed conflict of interest due to their affair.

He was not biased in his decision hiring her in the first place as she was one of the best qualified and they hadn't started their affair yet.

He was also reported to have been harassing the woman after their affair ended.

Excepts from the original Swedish article (translated):

> He submitted an application for a police permit to hold his demonstrations on Saturday, January 28 at 1 p.m. When DN speaks with him on Thursday afternoon, however, he says that he has decided to postpone his planned actions for a couple of weeks.

> - Everything is so agitated now. I was somewhat affected by the Prime Minister's call to tone it down. But I will still carry out my actions, it is important to me. I will submit a new application next week, says the 34-year-old.

> (...)

> The 34-year-old who wants to burn the Bible and Torah says that for several years he has had a bound copy of each on his bookshelf, and that the books he burns are his own. He also says that he burns the books "with a heavy heart".

> - I know people will be sad, and I regret it. But I think it needs to be done. To wake up Sweden, which does not care about the incitement against Muslims.

> (...)

> The 34-year-old says he is tired of his tax money going to protect right-wing extremist Rasmus Paludan's repeated Koran burnings, most recently outside the Turkish embassy.

> - It is only incitement against a minority - against Muslims. I am a Muslim myself, but not very religious. But I feel attacked by the Koran burnings. And by Sweden, which is doing everything to protect Paludan. > > So why do you want to attack another minority, the Jewish one? > > - My action is not aimed at the Swedish Jewish minority. I am standing outside the Israeli embassy because I want to remind about Israel's killing of Palestinian children. > > But you are burning a Jewish book, not something specifically Israeli. You think that Paludan incites Muslims with his burnings - but you don't incite Jews? > > - I don't know. Maybe what I'm doing is a hate crime. But I'm angry. I have heard for so many years Imams say that we Muslims should not show anger when the Koran is burned. Now I want to create debate, says the 34-year-old.

> (...)

> When DN asks the 34-year-old why he wants to burn the Bible, he first goes into a long reasoning about crusaders and that the Bible has historically been used to legitimize violence. Then he says. > > - Burning books is actually a terrible idea. But in a stupid time it can sometimes be required to do something stupid.
