‘Simply don’t know where they are’: 14,000 illegal migrants vanish, Swedish police say

About 14,000 illegal migrants, who were awaiting deportation, simply disappeared off the radar, Swedish police told local media, adding they “don’t know where these asylum seekers are.”

At the end of October, Swedish police asked to enforce deportation of at least 21,748 people. Of these, 14 140 people registered by police as ‘wanted’ have vanished, police told Swedish Aftonbladet tabloid newspaper.
