STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish police on Monday ordered an investigation into allegations that officers covered up accusations of sexual assault by mostly migrant youths at a music festival in Stockholm, a scandal that drew criticism from the prime minister.
The investigation comes after internal police reports published in Swedish media said around 50 suspects carried out sexual assaults against teenage girls at the "We are Sthlm" youth festival last August. Assaults also occurred in 2014 at the same festival, which attracts thousands of people.
