Swedish Transport Agency's law-breaking of security for computer system

Swedish Transport Agency's law-breaking of security for computer system was law-breaking - exposed by media in 2017 - regarding the security of  information in a database of the governmental agency, Swedish Transport Agency.

In January 2017 Sweden's Cabinet fired the agency's director, Maria Ågren; why she was fired was held secret for the public; instead, the public was told that she did not continue in the job, because of disagreement between Ågren and minister of infrastructure, Anna Johansson.

On 27 July 2017 the prime minister announced that two ministers will leave their job: Interior Minister Anders Ygeman and Infrastructure Minister Anna Johansson; this happened because " a no-confidence motion against three of the government's ministers by the opposition Alliance coalition".

History
Chief of the agency, Maria Ågren let IBM work on the agency's computer systems in 2015; she did not follow a warning that came from other workers in the Swedish Transport Agency, and she did not follow a warning that came from Swedish Security Service (Säpo).

IBM took over the agency's IT operations, and "IBM used subcontractors abroad, making sensitive information and an entire database of Swedish drivers’ licences accessible by foreign technicians who did not have the usual security clearance".

On 6 July 2017 media said that Ågren was under police investigation.
Ågren was told to pay a fine: 70,000 kronor, after a police investigation "found her guilty of being 'careless with secret information'".

Because of its elevation, temperatures are low.

Division 
The Eifel is divided into:
 West Eifel (Westeifel): western part, partly in Belgium and Luxembourg
 East Eifel (Osteifel): central and eastern part
 Venn Foreland (Vennvorland): in the very northwest (around Aachen)

Language

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDS or MDDS) is any of a group of autosomal recessive disorders that cause a significant drop in mitochondrial DNA in affected tissues. 

Symptoms can be any combination of myopathic, hepatopathic, or encephalomyopathic. These syndromes affect tissue in the muscle, liver, or both the muscle and brain, respectively. The condition is typically fatal in infancy and early childhood, though some have survived to their teenage years with the myopathic variant and some have survived into adulthood with the SUCLA2 encephalomyopathic variant. 

There is currently no cure for any form of MDDS, though some preliminary treatments have shown a reduction in symptoms.

Charlie Gard

Charlie Gard (4 August 2016 – 28 July 2017) was a British infant born Bedfont, London with a rare genetic condition known as mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome that causes progressive brain damage and muscle failure, including the muscles needed to breathe. There is no treatment, and it causes death in infancy.

Background
His parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, brought him to the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in October 2016 because he was having trouble breathing, and he was put on mechanical ventilation.   

His condition continued to deteriorate, and the genetic condition was diagnosed in November.  The doctors and parents initially agreed to attempt an experimental treatment, but after the child had seizures that caused more brain damage in January, the doctors withdrew their support for trying the treatment because it was futile and would only prolong whatever pain the infant was suffering.  

The doctors thought it would be best for the child to remove life support and allow him to die, but the parents still wanted to try the treatment.

Court cases
This disagreement led to a series of court cases.  The courts consistently supported GOSH's position, and the parents eventually dropped their challenge and agreed to withdraw life support.  There was one more court case, about how to allow the child to die, which was decided on 27 July.  On that day he was transferred to a hospice, and on the next day mechanical ventilation was withdrawn and he died at the age of 11 months and 24 days, a week before his first birthday.

Death
A week after being placed in hospice care in London on 28 July 2017 at 11 months.
