The riots erupted in Örebro in 2022 when far-right activist Rasmus Paludan was scheduled to hold a meeting in Sveaparken, leading to injuries among several police officers. Nordanstig, who was already retired when the investigation began, offered his help when the opportunity arose. A home office was set up for his assignment, which involved reviewing films from the day in Sveaparken to track individuals' actions.
Initially, it took a week to follow one person, but the process accelerated over time. Nordanstig, now 72 years old, reflected on his involvement positively. The specific charges for the 181 convictions and the exact number of police officers injured have not been disclosed.
Paludan's current status and any ongoing investigations related to the riots remain unclear, as does the full impact on the local community in Örebro.
