The head of the Stockholm police region and deputy chief of the Swedish national police, Mats Löfving, was found dead in his home on Wednesday evening.
“The investigation into the death is ongoing and the police are working to clarify what happened,” the police said on Wednesday evening.
Since December 2022, preliminary investigations have been underway against Löfving for gross conscription in connection with a private relationship that the police chief allegedly had with a colleague. The investigations examined, among other things, whether Löfving should have made the woman head of department in 2015. In addition, it must be clarified, for example, whether he was guilty of a disciplinary offense when he awarded her a service weapon in 2020.
The preliminary results of the investigations were announced on Wednesday before Löfving’s death. The responsible detective had, among other things, advised the Swedish police chief to consider separating from Löfving or at least to dismiss him from his main position. After the death of the Stockholm police chief, the investigation was halted. (aeg/sda/dpa)
