According to the agency, these activities were judged to reflect disloyalty toward the Swedish state, prompting his dismissal earlier this year. <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aftonbladet.se\/nyheter\/a\/yEr7ME\/migrationsverket-sparkar-anstalld-efter-sapolarm\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1100\">Aftonbladet also reported<\/a> on the case, confirming the timeline and the serious security concerns involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1421\">Hans Kemkes, head of security at the Migration Agency, told Ekot: \u201cThe information is credible from our perspective, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re acting this way. Yes, it\u2019s serious\u2014and that\u2019s exactly why it led to a dismissal in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Swedish?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Swedish<\/a> Government Investigates Rouzbeh Parsi\u2019s Alleged Ties to Iranian Influence Network<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PieDxzFzty\">https:\/\/t.co\/PieDxzFzty<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1887506338609013184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1859\">The individual in question had been employed at the agency since 2016. While no evidence has surfaced that classified data was compromised, the agency concluded that the employee could not remain in his role due to the seriousness of the situation. Kemkes added that the agency would not be implementing special new measures solely due to this incident, but that security development is part of their ongoing institutional work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1861\" data-end=\"2215\">According to Ekot, the S\u00e4po alert was issued in November 2024, but the employee was only placed on leave in January 2025, after security services asked the agency to delay any action in order to gather further intelligence. Documents also show the employee initially admitted to parts of the accusations, only to later deny them entirely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1861\" data-end=\"2215\">While S\u00e4po has declined to comment and the individual has not responded to media inquiries, the case underscores growing concerns in Sweden about foreign influence operations, particularly by the clerical regime in Iran, which has a record of targeting diaspora communities and infiltrating foreign institutions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News: Swedish Authorities Detain and Plan to Expel Iranian Cleric Mohsen Hakimollahi<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pKSw962Sdw\">https:\/\/t.co\/pKSw962Sdw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1885457028304560274?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2534\">In 2021, Swedish media revealed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-a-world\/tehrans-spy-arrested-in-sweden-a-grim-reminder-of-rooted-terrorism-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrest of Peyman Kia<\/a>, a former senior officer at Sweden\u2019s Security Police (S\u00e4po), who was later convicted of spying for Tehran between 2011 and 2015 while holding top-level access to classified information. His case\u2014and the arrest of an Iranian couple posing as Afghan refugees the same year\u2014highlighted the depth and persistence of the regime\u2019s espionage network in Europe, a network that continues to surface within sensitive institutions under the cover of dual identities or community engagement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2536\" data-end=\"2927\">This latest development comes amid heightened diplomatic tension between Stockholm and Tehran, driven by cases such as the imprisonment of Swedish-Iranian academic Ahmadreza Djalali in Iran, and the recently concluded <a

class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2929\" data-end=\"3156\">Security analysts warn that the case may lead to closer scrutiny of foreign-born officials in sensitive public roles, especially those with links to authoritarian states with a history of espionage and transnational repression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A case shaking Sweden&rsquo;s civil
