Swedish policeman blames migrants for violent crime | Daily Mail Online
A Swedish policeman under fire for criticising his country’s failure to integrate asylum seekers has accused senior politicians of turning a blind eye to the brutal crimes perpetrated by migrants.
Peter Springare, a veteran detective based in the central city of Orebro, was catapulted into the headlines this month when he voiced anger on social media at not being allowed to record the ethnic background of violent-crime suspects.
Springare, 61, a tall and imposing figure with a neat goatee beard, told The Sunday Times last week: “The highest and most extreme violence — rapes and shooting — is very dominated by criminal immigrants.
“This is a different criminality that is tougher and rawer. It is not what we would call ordinary Swedish crime.

Springare, 61, who is based in the central city of Orebro, wrote: 'Countries representing the weekly crimes: Iraq, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Somalia, Syria again, Somalia, unknown, unknown country, Sweden.
'Half of the suspects, we can't be sure because they don't have any valid papers. Which in itself usually means that they're lying about your nationality and identity.'
Prosecutors launched an inquiry, suggesting he had incited racial hatred, but later dropped the charges.
