The problem of gang-related organized crime has led to the latest legislative proposal to revoke citizenship, which threatens Sweden’s vital interests. But the legal standard of seriously damaging “Sweden’s vital interests” remains very broad and thus highly susceptible to misuse. Moreover, only criminal law – with all the constitutional safeguards it affords – should carry out such a sanction.
