" I just turned 15."


Now that Swedish authorities have access to a Moroccan data base, they are learning that 9 out of 10 young Moroccans entering the country have lied about their age. This pertains to those who claim to be under 18. They are actually adults.

Border police: nine out of ten Moroccans lie about age - are adults

DOMESTIC. Significantly more Moroccans were able to be expelled from Sweden last year. This, after a new collaboration with fingerprints between Swedish authorities and Morocco, reports Ekot today. According to the border police, 90 percent of Moroccans who have said that they are under 18 lied about their age.

Young Moroccans who come to Sweden often lack asylum reasons and then choose to devote themselves to crime and drug abuse.

Through a new cooperation between Sweden and Morocco, where fingerprints are used, more people can now be expelled back to the Arab country.

In 2016, the number of executions to Morocco was 75, compared to 135 last year.

"We have been given permission to work very well with Moroccan authorities, and have a working routine that we are very pleased with," says Per Löwenberg, Group Head of the National Border Policy Division, to Ekot.

In cases going through Morocco, 75 percent of people can be identified. This is because Swedish authorities have access to a large database of fingerprints in Morocco. From this it has been concluded that almost all  Moroccans have lied about their age.

Among those who say that they are under 18 years of age, the information has been found to be incorrect in 90% of cases, explains Per Löwenberg for Ekot.

And while expulsions are increasing, it's still a very difficult job to implement, points out the border police. This, among other things, because those who are to be expelled are living in such problematic situations.
