Sweden was in 2019, the first country outside of North America in solving a crime case usingforensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG), but further use of the method was inhibited bythe Privacy Protection Authority (IMY) in 2021 during a mandatory pre-counselling process, dueto considered lack of legislative support and issues regarding transfer of sensitive data to a thirdcountry. Subsequently, method implementation was set on halt awaiting necessary legal reviewand amendments. In July 2024, the Swedish Justice Department presented a legal bill on thepolice use of FIGG, following the outcome of a national biometric committee presenting theirassessments in June 2023. This paper describes the proposed legislation on the use of FIGG, presentingthe proposed legal amendments and discussing some underlying considerations.
