 In Stockholm, police sources reported increased activity on Malmskillnadsgatan in the city centre (which with Artillerigatan in the Östermalm district was a traditional site for street prostitution in Stockholm).Judges and senior police officials have been caught purchasing sex,
 while most recently, the Minister of Labour, Sven Otto Littorin, was also accused of purchasing sex ("Littoringate").Amongst other concerns about the law, taxing the proceeds of prostitution (recognised since 1982) is raising questions as to the rationality of a law prohibiting purchase.
