Mafias sabotage Stockholm economy

A new report has concluded that organized crime is putting the brakes on growth in the Stockholm region.
The report was commissioned by Marie Eriksson, who manages a gender equality project at Stockholm's county administrative board. Its findings are the result of a collaborative effort between police in Stockholm and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency's (SIDA) Baltic unit. "Organized crime can distort competition and have a negative bearing on the business climate and investment opportunities," said Ericsson in a statement.
