A foreigner living in a Swedish village wrote to the Ombudsmancomplaining that he had been ill-treated by the police, simply because he was aforeigner. The Ombudsman immediately wrote to the Chief of Police in thedistrict asking him to send a record of the case. There was nothing in therecord to show that the foreigners complaint was justified and the Chief ofPolice strongly denied the accusation. It was impossible for the Ombudsman totake action, but when he received a similar complaint from another foreigner inthe same village, he immediately sent one of his lawyers to investigate thematter. The lawyer ascertained that a policeman had indeed dealt roughly withforeigners on several occasions. The fact that the policeman was prejudiced againstforeigners could not be recorded in the official files. It was only possiblefor the Ombudsman to find this out by sending one of his representatives tocheck the facts. The policeman in question was severely reprimanded and wasinformed that if any further complaints were lodged against him, he would beprosecuted. The Ombudsmans prompt action at once put an end to an unpleasantpractice which might have gone unnoticed.
