Dold miljardsmäll mot svenska pensionsfonder

Pensionsmiljarder har gått upp i rök efter investeringar i ett skuldtyngt och skandalomsusat brittiskt vattenreningsmonopol. Två AP-fonder har förlorat dubbelt så mycket som i kraschade Northvolt. Intresset för att tala om investeringen i Thames Water, som inte ens nämns i årsredovisningarna, är minimalt.
