Crime. A mother in Nyköping suspected of trafficking for war service with children. She should have seen to it that his son ended up with the terrorist organization al-Shabaab in Somalia.
The offense is suspected to have taken place during the last year when the boy was 15 years old.
– it is true that it is al-Shabaab in Somalia, according to the letter we have received to us from social services, says Ulrika Johansson, head of rough crimes by the police in Nyköping, said.
al-Shabaab is a jihadist group that has carried out a series of deadly attacks against civilians.
Ulrika Johansson confirms that the victim is the son of the 36-year-old mother, who was born in Somalia but is a Swedish citizen.
– There is an interview with her will be done before we can reach a decision in the case.
Unusual classification
the case ended up at the government table after a relative of the boy became alarmed and raised the alarm.
– We have been in contact with the boy on the phone when he was in Somalia. I can not answer if he’s back in Sweden, says Katarina Stone Forest, head of the child and adolescent unit in Nyköping, said.
According to Catherine Stone Forest was the boy’s parents aware of he traveled to Somalia, but she can not say whether any of them traveled together with him.
the mother is under police reasonably suspected of crimes, which is the lower degree of suspicion, and the investigation led by the prosecutor of the International Public prosecution Office in Stockholm.
– There is an investigation, that’s all I can say. It is the investigation secrecy, says chief prosecutor Lise Tamm said.
To anyone suspected of human trafficking for war service with children under 18 years is unusual. In recent years, only three police reports made, according to statistics from the National Crime Prevention Council.

– Sweden is a bit unique for you send away any minor as they are seen as victims of crime in our law, but in other countries they may be considered participate in terrorist crimes, says Lise Tamm.
