The Swedish government can't intervene in the decisions of finansinspektionen.

Law comes from parliament alone, and the constitution does not permit for the executive (regeringen) to intervene in individual cases.

I see. So my undrestanding is the finansinspektionen answers to the ministry of finance, which is part of the executive branch, but the finansinspektionen is probably a bit more insulated from the executive branch than say, the SEC.
