The investigation, which concluded in 2024, stemmed from unrest that broke out in 2020 when Paludan visited Örebro, leading to clashes where participants threw stones and commandeered a police vehicle. According to official sources, 181 individuals have been found guilty of gross sabotage against emergency services in connection with the incident. The specific charges or sentences for those convicted have not been disclosed, and it remains unclear what evidence or reasons prompted the closure of the probe this year.
Police efforts to apprehend remaining suspects are ongoing, with authorities continuing to work on locating people who are detained in their absence. Over the past year, four individuals have been arrested and subsequently convicted, but an additional 18 people are still wanted and detained in their absence. The identities or backgrounds of these 18 individuals have not been released.
It is unknown what ongoing police strategies or methods are being employed to find them, and the impact of the riots on the local community or police resources in Örebro has not been detailed.
