Cops in Northern Sweden accused of ignoring sex trade

Sweden’s Central Criminal Police Force has criticized the local police of Norrbotten in northern Sweden for lax investigation of the thriving sex trade in that region.

There, as in northern Finland, the growing number of Russian prostitutes has become a problem, although Swedes, fearful of getting caught with a prostitute in their home country, often travel to Finland to buy sex.

Finland and Sweden are trying to find ways to address “the cross-border sex rally” before it gets out of hand.
