[edit]Staaf grew up in Östersund and studied economy and has a degree in Degree of Master of Laws at Stockholm University.[1] In 2006, she started working within the police departments as an accountant, she later became the boss of the economic department of the organisation.[2] Staaf does not have an official education as a police but got a degree during management training.[3] Between 2015 and December 2022, Staaf was the intelligence chief at the National Operations Department (NOA) In January 2023, Staaf started working at the Department of Justice.[3][4] Since November 2023, she is working as the Swedish leader of Europol.[5]
Staaf and her boss Mats Löfving started a relationship; Staaf's job and her credentials during her short career as a police officer were then questioned.[6] Löfving having assigned a service weapon to Staaf in 2020. An investigator, Runar Viksten, reviewed these decisions on behalf of Anders Thornberg and presented a report on 22 February 2023. He concluded that in four decisions concerning Staaf Löfving had been biased (jävig).[7][8] It should be noted however that Löfving always denied ever having an intimate relationship with Staaf, claiming that he had rejected attempts from Staaf to initiate such a relationship with him.[9] The allegations and investigations finally lead up to Löfving ending his own life.[10] Only two months later Staaf was once again in a relationship, this time with the Swedish chief of defence, General Micael Bydén. Staaf and Bydén also started a private business for which Bydén received criticism for conflicting interest with Bydén's job as Swedish chief of defence.[11]
