A Swedish man who forced his wife to have sex with 120 men was sentenced to four years and five months in prison on Tuesday. The trial was held in Härnösand, on Sweden's eastern coast, where the court found that he threatened her with violence and security cameras. The prosecutors said that the 61-year-old "ruthlessly exploited" his wife. The man maintained that he had only helped organise consensual encounters. He was convicted of offences including attempted rape, aggravated pimping, assault and unlawful threats. Twenty-eight other men were also convicted of purchasing sexual acts and services.&nbsp;The case has led to outrage, with some finding it similar to the one in France where Dominique Pelicot was found guilty of drugging his then-wife, Gisèle and allowing other men to rape her over a period of nine years.

Swedish man who forced his wife to have sex with 120 men jailed for 4 years 5 months

Sweden's parliament enacted a law on Monday (June 15) after voting to pass the so-called “good behaviour” law, allowing the government to crack down on immigrants' residency permits based on bad behaviour, ​which includes unpaid debts, criminality, ‌links to extremist organisations or doing undeclared work. The new law will also be applied retroactively to many of the current residents of the country. The law applies not only to new residence permit applications but also retroactively already been approved. It is part of a broader effort of immigration ​rules by the right-wing government and its ally, ​the nationalist Sweden Democrats, to tighten the rules ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for September. While proposing the bill in March this year, &nbsp;Sweden’s minister of migration, Johan Forssell, said, “Anyone ‌who doesn’t make the effort to do the right thing shouldn’t be able to count on staying."<h3>How will the 'good behaviour' law impact immigrants?</h3>The legislation has sharply drawn criticism from opposition politicians and human rights organisations, which argue that its standards are vague and subjective. Recently, Amnesty International warned that the measure could result in residence permits being denied or revoked based on conduct that is neither illegal nor punishable for Swedish citizens. The Stockholm-based advocacy group Civil Rights Defenders also condemned the law, saying it weakens the rule of law. In a statement, the organisation said the "good behaviour" requirement leaves individuals uncertain about which actions or statements could potentially be used against them. Meanwhile, Sweden's parliament narrowly approved another controversial measure, often referred to as the "snitch law", which will oblige many public-sector employees to report people they suspect of living in the country without legal documentation. The legislation was passed by a slim margin of 174 votes to 172, despite warnings from critics that it could harm migrants' physical and mental well-being and increase the likelihood of racial profiling. Jacob Lind, a postdoctoral researcher specialising in international migration at Malmö University, described the policy as harsh and ineffective, arguing that it encourages a culture of informing on others commonly associated with authoritarian regimes. Lind further warned that the law could have serious consequences for undocumented migrants, pushing them further to the fringes of society by limiting their access to basic rights and services.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/iran-says-permanent-end-to-war-in-lebanon-is-inseparable-from-us-peace-deal-1781598676054">Iran says permanent end to war in Lebanon is inseparable from US peace deal</a> Following widespread criticism, teachers, doctors and social workers have been given exemption from reporting obligations. However, employees of tax officials and employment and social insurance agencies are among those who would have to inform cops when they have reasons to believe that they have been in communication with people possessing no residency papers. Louise Bonneau of the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants labelled the new law as a “serious setback for human rights” in the country. Her opinion is also backed by Swedish researchers who warned that the law would turn public employees into border police. They have pointed to scenarios such as a mother giving birth with the assistance of a midwife. While the midwife would not be required to report the family, the child's birth would still need to be registered with tax authorities, who could then notify the police about the family's immigration status. The Swedish government has defended the measures, saying they are necessary to ensure that individuals without legal permission to remain in the country can be returned to their countries of origin. Similar reporting requirements are rare across Europe. Finland has been debating whether to broaden such obligations, while Germany has spent years grappling with comparable reporting rules within its social welfare system. The debate has also drawn comparisons with the United Kingdom's "hostile environment" policy introduced by former Prime Minister Theresa May in 2012. The policy aimed to restrict access to employment, welfare benefits, bank accounts, driving licences and other essential services for people unable to prove their legal right to reside in Britain. However, it later emerged that many lawful residents struggled to provide the necessary documentation, while the Home Office frequently misidentified legal residents as immigration offenders. Similarly, in 2018, the UK's National Audit Office concluded that the hostile environment policies failed to deliver value for taxpayers and had significant shortcomings in implementation.<h3>How are immigrants affecting native of Spain?</h3>Spain passed the 'good behaviour' law as it has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe and a shrinking native-born workforce. Since 2019, around 40 per cent of all new jobs in the country have been occupied by immigrants, according to government statistics. A recent study revealed that the amnesty programme allowed immigrants to move from low-paid, informal work in sectors such as domestic services and construction into higher-paying jobs within the formal economy. The move also increased annual tax revenues by roughly 4,000 euros per regularised immigrant each year. Research by More in Common found that public support for immigration tends to decline when people feel their country's borders are not adequately controlled. Meanwhile, a recent report from the Cato Institute estimated that non-citizen immigrants, including many living in the United States without legal authorisation, generated a fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion between 1994 and 2023 by contributing significantly more in taxes than they received in public benefits. Although concerns persist that large numbers of immigrants could depress wages for native-born workers, studies suggest otherwise. Researchers argue that immigrants not only fill labour shortages but also stimulate economic activity by purchasing goods and services, which in turn supports job creation. Experts also note that public attitudes toward immigration are often influenced by the manner in which undocumented migrants enter a country.&nbsp;

EXPLAINED: How 'good behaviour' law will impact immigrants in Sweden and why it is so controversial

A Swedish man on Monday has been charged with exploiting his "vulnerable" wife to have sex with nearly 120 men for money with aggravated pimping, several rapes and assaults. The 62-year-old suspect was arrested in October 2025 after his wife reported his act to police in northern Sweden. Since then, he has been held in custody. The man was accused of creating online advertisements, scheduling meetings, keeping guard and forcing his wife to perform sexual acts online to attract more clients. Based on the charges, the man had made money for years from compelling his wife to perform sexual acts, according to a report by the AFP. He was also accused of using violence and intimidation, allegedly exploiting the woman’s drug addiction while supplying her with substances. The prosecutor described the situation as “ruthless exploitation.”&nbsp;Along with charges of aggravated pimping, the man, who denies all allegations, faces eight counts of rape. These include an incident involving a client, as well as multiple cases where the woman was allegedly forced to perform sexual acts on herself for online videos. Prosecutor Ida Annerstedt told AFP that the woman, considered to be in a vulnerable state, had to some extent agreed to engage in sex work. However, she had refused to do so with certain individuals or under specific conditions. "There are certain boundaries she has had. When he hasn't respected them, when he has steamrolled her after she has said 'no', those are the situations when he is charged with attempted rape, or rape," Annerstedt told AFP.<h3>Warnings &amp; unleashing ‘the monster’ threat</h3>The man was also charged with four attempted rapes and four assaults, along with threatening his wife, including warnings about unleashing "the monster". The whole incidents were reported to have taken place between August 11, 2022, and October 21, 2025. A trial of the accused is set to start on April 13. Annerstedt confirmed that officials had identified nearly 120 people suspected of having bought sexual services. In response to the incident, twenty-six men have been charged with buying sex related to the case, and other individuals are being probed. Silvia Ingolfsdottir, the woman’s lawyer, told AFP that the charges stem from the “serious and aggravated crimes” her client has endured. In a text message, she said, "She now hopes to obtain justice." According to public broadcaster SVT, the accused had previously been a senior member of the Hells Angels biker group. The case has drawn significant attention across Sweden. In February, Sweden’s Minister for Gender Equality, Nina Larsson, stressed that men must “stop buying and selling women’s bodies.” She described media coverage of the so-called “Swedish Pelicot case” as shocking and disturbing in a post on X. Under Swedish law, purchasing sex is illegal, while selling it is not; however, facilitating or enabling such transactions is also prohibited.&nbsp;Also read:<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/charlie-kirk-murder-trial-bullet-used-to-kill-him-did-not-match-rifle-used-by-tyler-robinson-reports-1774926313093"> BIG twist in Charlie Kirk murder trial: Bullet used to kill him did NOT match Tyler Robinson's rifle, claims court filings</a>

Horrifying! Swedish man accused of coercing wife into sexual act with nearly 120 men: More details inside

"Bro, I can't wait for my first dead body," wrote an 11-year-old boy on Instagram in Sweden, where gangs recruit children too young to be prosecuted as contract killers on chat apps.

"Bro, I can't wait for my first dead body," wrote an 11-year-old boy on Instagram in Sweden, where gangs recruit children too young to be prosecuted as contract killers on chat apps. "Stay motivated, it'll come," answered his 19-year-old contact. He went on to offer the child 150,000 kronor ($13,680) to carry out a murder, as well as clothes and transport to the scene of the crime, according to a police investigation of the exchange last year in the western province of Varmland seen by AFP. In this case, four men aged 18 to 20 are accused of recruiting four minors aged 11 to 17 to work for a criminal gang. All were arrested before carrying out the crimes. The preliminary inquiry contains a slew of screenshots that the youngsters sent each other of themselves posing with weapons, some with bare chests or donning hooded masks. Questioned by police, the 11-year-old said he wrote the message to seem "cool" and "not show his fear". The case is not an isolated one. Sweden has struggled to rein in a surge in gang shootings and bombings across the country in recent years, linked to score-settling and battles to control the drug market. Last year, 53 people were killed in shootings, increasingly in public, with innocent victims also dying. 'Killer wanted' Sweden's gang crime is organised and complex, with gang leaders operating from abroad through intermediaries who use encrypted messaging services like Telegram, Snapchat, and Signal to recruit teens under 15, the age of criminal responsibility. "It is organised as a kind of (job) market where missions are published on discussion forums, and the people accepting the assignments are increasingly young," Johan Olsson, the head of the Swedish police's National Operations Department (NOA), told reporters last month. Also read: Putin approves budget plans, raising 2025 military spending to record levels Hits are subcontracted with the parties only communicating online, Stockholm University criminology professor Sven Granath told AFP. Others recruit in person, seeking out kids hanging around in their neighbourhoods. The number of murder-related cases in Sweden where a suspect is under the age of 15 rose from 31 in the first eight months of 2023 to 102 in the same period this year, according to the Prosecution Authority. Granath said the children who are recruited are often struggling in school, have addiction problems or attention deficit disorders, or have already been in trouble with the law. "They are recruited into conflicts they have no connection to—they're just mercenaries," he said, adding that they haven't necessarily been a member of a gang before. Some children even seek out the contracts, according to a report from the National Council for Crime Prevention (BRA), as they look for cash, an adrenaline rush, recognition, or a sense of belonging. They're drawn in by flashy clothes as well as the promise of undying loyalty, experts say. "Nowadays everybody wants to be a murderer," Viktor Grewe, a 25-year-old former gang member who had his first run-in with police when he was 13, told AFP. "It's incredibly sad to see that this is what kids aspire to," he said, as some "crimfluencers" glorify criminal lifestyles on TikTok. 'Ruthless exploitation' There is a "ruthless exploitation of young people", Tony Quiroga, a police commander in Orebro, west of Stockholm, told AFP. The criminal subcontractors "don't want to take any risks themselves", he said, protecting both themselves and those higher up the chain. "They hide behind pseudonyms on social media and put several filters between themselves and the culprit." In Orebro, volunteers patrol the streets of disadvantaged neighbourhoods to talk to youths about the risks of falling under the gangs' control. Grewe, who turned his back on gang life when he was 22, said young criminals don't expect to live beyond the age of 25. According to a recent BRA report, recruiting kids is part of the gangs' business model, where children recruit even younger children -- and once they're in, it's hard to leave. Quiroga despaired that the police are up against conflicts "that never end". Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

An 8-year-old Swedish boy made an amazing discovery earlier this month while strolling down a beach during a family vacation.

Bruno Tillema ended up discovering a 900-year-old Viking artefact, which he initially mistook as “some weird part from a house.”

“We were spending our summer vacation on Gotland [a Swedish island]," his father, Andreas Tillema, was quoted as saying by Newsweek.

"We had just given him a book about fossils, and because of that he was actively scanning the ground with his eyes," he added.

The father said that Bruno picked it up and kept walking casually until his mother noticed he held something in his hands.

When the mother looked at the artefact, she could not really believe her eyes.

<h2>Archaeologist confirmed discovery</h2>

The curious family later contacted an archaeologist, who later confirmed on a video call that “it was indeed an artefact.”

It looked like an animal's head, adorned with intricate details. Later, they contacted the local administrative authority, Länsstyrelsen, who promptly dispatched a team of three archaeologists to examine the location.&nbsp;
