Domestic. The government's Estonia investigator Johan Hirschfeldt never investigated whether the government used any authority other than the Armed Forces or FMV to smuggle anything into Estonia during the night of the accident. He is therefore completely innocent even if the Estonian dives would show that Sweden smuggled something on the night of the accident, according to P1's Sunday interview on Swedish Radio.

After it stands It is clear that Estonian divers have made extensive documentation of Estonia's wrecks during the week, it has been speculated that several Swedish authorities may be prosecuted.
In recent weeks, some have begun to appear in various more or less convoluted contexts to explain themselves and blame themselves, not least in state media.
The latest example is Swedish Radio P1, which for some reason decided to devote the entire day's Sunday interview to interviewing the retired and relatively anonymous bureaucrat Johan Hirschfeldt, who will talk about how he is “touched by the memories of Olof Palme” and about his long experience of bureaucracy in Sweden.
But after almost an hour of something that most resembles a sleeping pill in interview format, it comes suddenly: The host asks how it could be that Hirschfeldt, when he investigated smuggling in Estonia in 2005, got engaged the government from smuggling military equipment on Estonia during the night of the accident.
– No, I can not say anything about that, says Hirschfeldt.
– We talked about the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Armed Forces Materiel Administration, says Hirschfeldt and is suddenly very clear that any other actor's possible smuggling has not been investigated by him.
Smuggling from the Baltics in the early 1990s was handled by the Armed Forces through the Special Collection Office (KSI) which was a special branch of the military intelligence service MUST. However, KSI had a collaboration that meant that other states could obtain intelligence in cooperation with Sweden, and no such possibility was investigated by Hirschfeldt.
When Assignment Review revealed the smuggling in Estonia in 2005, it was because a whistleblower who worked as a customs officer in Värtahamnen had told the journalist Lars Borgnäs that he had been ordered to let through two transports in Estonia, which contained military electronics.
Hirschfeldt stated in his investigation that he had spoken with representatives of the Swedish Customs, but when the investigation was completed, he destroyed his notes from these meetings by burning them. He had forgotten what was said at the meetings, he stated in the Swedish Parliament.
