Norrköping municipality criticised by Parliamentary Ombudsman for investigative methods that violate the right to privacy. The methods used by the municipality have included reconnaissance and documentation when incorrect payments of financial assistance are suspected.
Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board Sophia Jarl (M) says they will not continue with these methods. Anna Selander, Municipal Director, believes that they will develop new working methods, but that a judicial review needs to be made before the methods come into force. The municipality will now comment on the decision during a press conference.
