He was under investigation for several counts of corruption. Yesterday the appointed state investigator presented his findings at a press conference where he recommended Löfving gets fired. A few hours later Löfving was found dead in his home, presumably from suicide.

Additional info from Swedish news:

The internal investigation concluded four cases of bias, or whatever the legal term is in English: 1) Issuing her with a service weapon, 2) giving her a raise, 3) approving subsidiary occupation as a writer and 4) extending her appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. Her privileges and raise were not necessarily unjustified, it's just that there was an undisclosed conflict of interest due to their affair.

He was not biased in his decision hiring her in the first place as she was one of the best qualified and they hadn't started their affair yet.

He was also reported to have been harassing the woman after their affair ended.

But the articles says this:

> Expressen writes that 21 others with extensive police experience applied for the position of head of intelligence, but that Staaf had no police experience.

Doesn't appear that she was one of the most qualified.

I was just reporting on the conclusion by the internal investigation.

She didn't go the the Police Academy, but she was qualified as a police officer through internal training programmes. She has Candidate of Law degree and a Bachelor's degree in economics and was the CFO of one of Sweden's seven police regions before the appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. It doesn't look like she was underqualified, but I'm sure many would have liked to see a "real cop" in the position.

The article posted said she had no experience at all, and was chosen over 20 candidates that did have experience.

Chat GPT translation into English:

The article at the provided link (https://www.dn.se/sverige/mats-lofving-hittad-dod-i-sitt-hem/) reports that Mats Löfving, a high-ranking Swedish police officer, has been found dead in his home. According to the police, Löfving's death does not appear to be suspicious, and no crime is suspected.

Löfving was a well-known figure in Swedish law enforcement, having held a number of high-profile positions during his career. Most recently, he served as the head of the Swedish police's national operational department, where he was responsible for overseeing major police operations across the country.

The article notes that Löfving's death has been met with sadness and condolences from across the Swedish political spectrum. Many have praised his dedication and professionalism, as well as his contributions to improving Sweden's law enforcement capabilities.

It’s a shame that with all that accolade, he couldn’t be forthright and responsible enough to show ownership and accountability with his misdeeds.

The end of the short is that he was corrupt, it seems, and a coward for taking his own life to avoid accountability.

Seems to prevalent in the world now, and me thinks this world is coming to a societal end as we know it.

At least he had some shame, which is more than we can say for most modern day grifters.

He ended his life because of self-loathing which consumed his mind. The only way to out was to stop living, to make the world a better place. He hated himself.

Wow. You came to that conclusion from one dead corrupt cop... Cops as an institution have always been shit bags and always will be.
