The criminal exploitation of assistance businesses [in Sweden] is notable because it is so widespread says the criminologist Amir Rostami to the news bureau TT.

A new report confirms the long-known problem, but with an improved foundation - he says it becomes apparent how systematic and widespread the exploitation is.

This problem threatens trust in the welfare system, according to Rostami.

- If we don't have better protection in the future this might lead to a questioning of the entire system with personal assistants.

Since the assistance system affects some of the most vulnerable people in society there must be a special protection and tough inspections of the industry, he continues.
