Efterlyst



Criminals and outlaws, beware! This weekly show is some strange collaboration between the police department and a private television channel, dedicated to describing all the gruesome crimes committed in the country and urging witnesses to step forward. Intent on solving and analyzing crimes, they walk a thin line as Swedish law is pretty fuzzy when it comes to “naming and shaming”.

The guidelines say to keep all victims and perpetrators anonymous for as long as possible, otherwise those who have been exposed may have grounds to sue, but publishers can always invoke “the public’s right to know” and hope to get away with it. It is an incredibly popular show and the longest running one on Channel 3.
