Swedish government pushes forward with bid to revoke gang criminals' citizenship

The Swedish government has introduced a new inquiry to revoke citizenship for individuals involved in serious crimes, including potential threats to national security and fraudulent citizenship, but initially excludes gang-related offenses. The focus on less severe issues may stem from concerns about complexity or public reaction. The inquiry will explore both legal and practical measures, with a report expected by 2026, though changes won't take effect until 2027 due to election timing. This balanced approach aims to address security concerns while maintaining social tolerance, potentially deterring comparable behavior without being overly harsh.
