The 2024 Swedish Eurovision Song Contest, held just two weeks ago, was the most controversial contest in the recent history of the contest. Doubts about Israel’s participation, in addition to the disqualification of the representative of the Netherlands due to an incident of which there has not yet been exhaustive knowledge, made many candidates doubt. about whether or not to finally go on stage at the Malmö Arena.
What was not expected is that trouble would continue to appear even two weeks after the festival. The Swedish media ‘Sydsvenskan’ has reported that police officers, coming from both other parts of the country and from the neighboring Nordic countries, which were working on the event, are being investigated internally for the alleged theft of four bags of chips.
The events occurred on May 6 and the owner establishment, a bar in Folkets Park, did not give it the greatest importance. “We never found out why they had been taken. It was the Police who came to us a few days later urging us to report him.“, the owner of the pub, Ellen Almqvist, told the aforementioned media.
So far there are no suspects nor have any charges been filed for the existence of a crime. “The facts are serious. We are not seeking any compensation, but the right thing must be the right thing”, according to Almqvist.
The Police Commander during the festival, Petra Stenkula, points the same line. “I think it’s good to let people know if something has gone wrong. If it had been like that, it would be serious. It is good that a report has been made so that we can know what happened“, concluded the agent, who cannot make any further statements because the internal investigation is ongoing.
