An investigation by the Swedish newspaper Expressen reveals that more than one billion Swedish kronor were looted from public funds by imams and activists linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to the report, the individuals ran privately operated schools and kindergartens that received substantial state funding, while large portions of the money were diverted for personal use.
The investigation found that public education funds were used to finance luxury lifestyles, including expensive cars, lavish living, and even sex clubs. Once authorities began closing in, several of those involved fled Sweden, making criminal prosecution and recovery of the funds extremely difficult.
Sweden’s internal security service, Säpo, has classified the individuals involved as a national security threat, citing their ideological ties, organizational networks, and the broader risks posed by the combination of Islamist influence, large-scale financial fraud, and abuse of state institutions.
