Fact-Check Results:
This claim is false. The statistic that "migrants of non-European origin commit 84% of aggravated rapes in Sweden" is not supported by official Swedish crime data.
According to the most recent studies and reports, including research from Lund University and the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå), approximately two-thirds (around 63%) of those convicted for rape or attempted rape in Sweden were either born abroad or are second-generation immigrants. This figure does not specify non-European origin exclusively, nor does it reach 84%. Additionally, correlation does not imply causation, and overrepresentation in crime statistics is influenced by socio-economic factors, reporting biases, and demographic differences.
You can verify this by checking the latest Brå reports or peer-reviewed studies on crime and immigration in Sweden.
