Additional info from Swedish news:

The internal investigation concluded four cases of bias, or whatever the legal term is in English: 1) Issuing her with a service weapon, 2) giving her a raise, 3) approving subsidiary occupation as a writer and 4) extending her appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. Her privileges and raise were not necessarily unjustified, it's just that there was an undisclosed conflict of interest due to their affair.

He was not biased in his decision hiring her in the first place as she was one of the best qualified and they hadn't started their affair yet.

He was also reported to have been harassing the woman after their affair ended.

Office romances seldom work.

Especially when there's a huge power imbalance.

But the articles says this:

> Expressen writes that 21 others with extensive police experience applied for the position of head of intelligence, but that Staaf had no police experience.

Doesn't appear that she was one of the most qualified.

I was just reporting on the conclusion by the internal investigation.

She didn't go the the Police Academy, but she was qualified as a police officer through internal training programmes. She has Candidate of Law degree and a Bachelor's degree in economics and was the CFO of one of Sweden's seven police regions before the appointment as chief of intelligence at NOA. It doesn't look like she was underqualified, but I'm sure many would have liked to see a "real cop" in the position.

The article posted said she had no experience at all, and was chosen over 20 candidates that did have experience.
