Reality Check: Is Malmo the 'rape capital' of Europe?
"__Syrian Airstrike Kills Palestinian Refugees"
24 February 2017
The claim: Many young male migrants arrived in Sweden over the past few years, when the country accepted unprecedented
numbers of refugees, and there has been a huge rise in sexual crime in Sweden especially in the southern port city of Malmo.
Reality Check verdict: Malmo, along with other urban centres in Sweden, has one of the highest levels of reported rapes in
proportion to population in the EU, mainly due to the strictness of Swedish laws and how rape is recorded in the country.
