According to an extensive series of reports published by the Swedish newspaper Express, a network of private Muslim schools diverted about 1 billion Swedish kronor, equivalent to about 100 million euros. These conclusions come from a year of journalistic investigation, consultations of court documents, interviews with prosecutors and civil servants, and the analysis of accounting and business structures.
A decade financing radical Islam and private business
The Expressen team points out that this framework took advantage of the Swedish education public funding system to channel money towards private companies, personal contacts and projects of an ideological or religious nature. These centers were Islamic schools that were presented as community alternatives for Muslim families, but they operated with a parallel structure that no one supervised. For the plot, every Muslim child was a source of income and every tuition secured public money who entered the group's internal circuit.
This mechanism was always repeated in the same way: opening of an Islamic school, attracting vulnerable families, massive inflow of public funding and constant diversion towards private channels. When inspections began, the group would close and open a new center in another city. For years, no one saw the full map or detected that all these schools were part of a single ideological and economic architecture.
Islamic schools closed
The combination of economic irregularities and national security concerns triggered a series of closures. All Islamic schools associated with the network they were closed by direct order from the secret services or as a result of financial audits that revealed fraud.
What for years had seemed like a set of scattered problems has turned out to be a structured network that operated with a common logic and a clear objective: taking advantage of the loopholes in the Swedish education system to sustain its own architecture of power, radical indoctrination and funding.
Imams targeted by the secret services
Expressen points out that several imams who influenced or directed these educational centers were identified by the Swedish secret services (Säpo) as figures who could represent a risk to national security. This classification does not imply any crime, but indicates that the authorities saw signs of ideological activities that could foster radicalization or create parallel structures within the country.
The secret services monitored Islamic schools and detected that they operated with internal cohesion, religious discipline and hermetic control of information. Expressen explains that security services warned of risks associated with financing these structures, especially due to the possibility that they were strengthening ideological networks aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. Based on these alerts, several municipal and state authorities initiated economic and administrative investigations that confirmed serious irregularities in multiple centers.
Those responsible have disappeared, the debt remains
When Swedish authorities began reviewing accounts, contracts and bank transactions, The imams and others responsible for the plot left Sweden quietly and discreetly, and flew to Turkey, Egypt or other countries. where the Swedish system cannot enforce sanctions or reclaim the misappropriated money. Some of them accumulate millions of euros in tax debts, but they maintain no legal activity in Sweden and no recoverable assets. They have left behind closed schools, uncollectable debts and a multi-million dollar bill that the Swedish taxpayer will have to pay.
This escape reveals what prosecutors call the double fraud. On the one hand, the network emptied the education system and prevented children from receiving the resources they deserved. On the other hand, the same public money ended up feeding a private ideological structure who is not accountable to anyone and who, in many cases, is no longer within the country. The taxpayer pays twice: he loses the service and he loses the money.
The pattern of the Muslim Brotherhood in the West
The Swedish case fits into a model that different European intelligence services have been describing for years: The Muslim Brotherhood promotes networks that combine religious activity, associative structure and management of schools, cultural entities and NGOs to create influence. With legitimacy and public funding they have no problem operating within open societies. This pattern does not depend on violence, but on the ability to infiltrate legal spaces and take advantage of the institutional trust of Western states.
In France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, security services have detected similar movements: schools and cultural entities that function as nodes of a global ideological architecture. The Swedish school model has become an extreme case because itTheir school model relies almost blindly on private operators. This trust allowed the network to operate for more than a decade without resistance. Only when journalists and authorities put all the pieces together did the country understand that it was not faced with a cluster of dysfunctions, but with a clear pattern that the West has seen repeated elsewhere.
Sweden prepares report on Muslim Brotherhood
The report of the French government on the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood in France pointed to Sweden as one of the main foci of Islamist influence. This warning, added to what the Swedish authorities were already seeing within the country, has forced the Swedish executive to openly acknowledge the problem. The government describes the situation as a direct threat to the separation of religion and politics.
Faced with this reality, Sweden has opened a high-level official investigation to analyze how the Muslim Brotherhood and other networks operate and in which areas they seek influence. The executive plans to publish the first conclusions before spring 2026, with specific recommendations on public funding, education and institutional control. The goal is develop a robust framework that prevents political Islam from taking advantage of the Swedish welfare system as the looting of 100 million euros from the school system has shown.
