M (Moderate party): Inverted burden of evidence for gang member
Moderates wish that a gang criminal who can't explain how he obtained expensive objects and large sums of money, should lose them.
- "Money and expensive status symbols are unfortunately a very strong force of attraction which many young are drawn to", says Johan Forssell of the Moderates to TT.
Inverted burden of evidence will apply to those who have been convicted for gang-related criminality, as well as those who haven't been convicted, but for which money or expensive objects have been found during home search. A claim for seizure should be put to court where one has to explain oneself.
