JO ifrågasätter militärpolisens befogenheter och rättssäkerhet

The Swedish Military Police's powers have been questioned by the Ombudsman (JO), raising issues concerning clarity and legal security. JO has outlined that there is uncertainty around the military police's powers which may require a constitutional regulation to increase clarity and ensure legal security. In the current situation, the military police's powers are not regulated in the same way as the police. The decision has sparked a debate about whether it is appropriate for the military police to have the power to investigate crimes according to Swedish law. This decision is expected to have implications for how military police work will be carried out in the future.
