Tips & investigations

Tip off system failures and gaps

Neuman Juridik investigates how Swedish authorities work in practice. Use this page to flag documentation gaps, systemic failures, and patterns worth journalistic follow-up — not to request legal representation or advice.

This is a tip line for investigative coverage and public interest. We do not accept intake for personal representation.

Public interest

We follow up when documentation, routines or decisions fail in ways that affect many people.

Evidence first

Reference numbers, decisions, emails and timelines make a tip workable — even without full identification.

Source protection

You can stay anonymous in the first contact. Describe what exists, not only what you suspect.

Email a tip directly

If you already have material — a decision, email thread or case notes — you can email directly. A short background and which authority is involved is enough.

Submit a tip

Describe what fails

The form does not send anything directly from the site, but creates an email draft so you can review it before sending.

Helpful details in the tip

  • Which authority or actor is involved, and any reference number or decision date if you have one.
  • What fails: missing notes, conflicting records, decisions never issued, or patterns over time.
  • What material you can share: decisions, emails, case extracts or other documentation (preferably without personal data in the first step).
  • If you want to stay anonymous, how we can reach you for follow-up without revealing your identity.

Examples of leads we follow up

  • Documentation gaps where decisions are made without written records or follow-up never happens.
  • System failures where registers, case files or routines are used in ways that conflict with law or policy.
  • Patterns across multiple cases that suggest structural problems rather than isolated mistakes.

Encrypted tips

Send sensitive material with PGP

If a tip contains sensitive information, you can encrypt text and attachments with our public PGP key before emailing. Email subject lines are usually not encrypted, so keep the subject neutral.

Documentation deficiencies in social services: when children are waiting and cases cannot be followed

IVO writes that more than 3,000 children a year wait too long for interventions after decisions. At the same time, the JO has directed serious criticism at social welfare boards where the documentation was so deficient that cases could hardly be followed.

Documentation

General document: request documents from authority step by step

What is a public document, how do you request documents from the police, social services, schools and Försäkringskassan, and what do you do in case of confidentiality or delay.
