Read it:
Sweden, 1994 to 2026. The country filed under trust — open records, a welfare state that pays on a signature, one electronic identity for everything — became the European country where fatal shootings rose as nowhere else, where networks hired children by message, and where quieter criminals spent the state's confidence: pension savings switched by telephone, assistance companies tied to gangs, waste dumped, laundering sold to builders. A great bank's Baltic subsidiaries courted high-risk money; an exporter admitted bribery abroad. It follows the money and asks what became of the people who took it. Covers Rawa Majid and the Foxtrot network, Ismail Abdo and Rumba, Swedbank and its acquitted former chief executive Birgitte Bonnesen, Rade Kotur and his gaming machines, Bella Nilsson and Think Pink, and Ericsson and its bribery.
