It's been labelled the biggest environmental scandal ever in Swedish history and in this edition of Radio Sweden Weekly, we speak to one of the prosecutors, and one those who first sounded the alarm.
Anna Öhgren in Norrtälje first noticed something was wrong when a large number of lorries started passing by her house with truckloads of unsorted waste, offloading them onto the property down the road from her house. ”I don't bathe in the lake. I don't drink the tap water anymore,” she tells Radio Sweden.
And what was it that caused one of the most experienced government ministers to resign this week? We go on a military exercise in the Stockholm archipelago and find out more about the world's 300 best songs, according to a jury put together by Swedish Radio's music channel P3.

Therefore we can't say how the number of young people in Sweden living with their parents has changed, and we have removed the story from this podcast. The correction was made on July 11th 2024.

Säpo has heightened its national terror alert to its second highest level, raising it from a "elevated" 3 to a "high" level of 4. We ask the deputy head of counter terrorism in Säpo why the decision has been made.
We also interview an expert on what the heightened terror alert means in practice and its consequences.
We also have fan reaction to Sweden's semi-final exit to Spain in the women's World Cup down under and look ahead to Saturday's bronze playoff against co-hosts Australia.
And as food prices rise again, will we ever witness a return to the sort of prices seen before the pandemic.
