Botkyrka's municipal board chairman, Ebba Östlin, was this weekend voted out of his position in coup-like fashion.
A group of around 50 new members of the Social Democrats attended the meeting where Östlin was voted out. According to several sources, there were among them people with strong connections to gang crime, writes Aftonbladet's Oisín Cantwell in a column today.
Ebba Östlin is known for her fight against crime in Botkyrka, one of the many multicultural municipalities around Stockholm that is plagued by serious organized crime.

According to information from a political chief of staff for the Social Democrats in Botkyrka, there is said to have been a campaign to depose Östlin. ABF in Botkyrka/Salem must have recruited new members to carry out the coup, and according to a source for Aftonbladet, people with connections to gang crime must have been involved.
“Among the 50 or so new members who showed up for the meeting in Folkets hus in Hallunda, there were, according to several sources, not only people who barely even knew Swedish and who didn't seem to understand what they were doing there,” writes Oisín Cantwell.
According to the columnist, the coup may be connected with Botkyrka's decision a year ago to close three leisure centers and four leisure clubs, which reportedly had connections to ABF and organized crime. The ousting of Östlin is therefore interpreted as an attempt by criminals to put pressure on the political leadership and weaken the law enforcement in the municipality. . It's unbelievable. It's unacceptable. What will happen to Botkyrka if a social democrat who owes a debt of gratitude to the Vårby network takes over?” writes Oisín Cantwell.
ABF receives around half a billion tax kroner in government grants every year to run its S-related business.
