No source located publishes the exact value of the Swedish police's Palantir contract(s); the 'multi-million' magnitude is consistent with, but not quantified by, the available reporting.
The most recent sources (2026) still confirm Swedish police use of Palantir but give figures only for other countries' authorities (e.g. Norwegian police and customs NOK 555m combined, Danish police over DKK 211m, Europol over €4m).
The 'hysch-hysch' (secrecy) element is the speaker's characterisation of the procurement's transparency, not a verifiable statistic; Swedish procurement documents are subject to confidentiality rules, which the speaker presents as deliberate concealment.

PrimaryHansard, UK House of Commons — Ministry of Defence: Palantir Contracts debate"Palantir has a total of 34 contracts with public sector bodies" and reference to police forces contracting Palantir (e.g. "In 2024, Leicestershire police signed a contract with Palantir worth close to £1 million"), illustrating the documented pattern of police–Palantir contracting in Europe.
SecondaryThe Nerve — investigation into Palantir's contracts across Europe (with Follow the Money)"In Norway, the police and customs authorities have so far paid a combined total of 555 million Norwegian kroner (€52m) to the company, and the Danish police have paid over 211 million Danish kroner (€28m)... Europol, which used Gotham between 2012 and 2021... paid more than €4m... the total amount that these authorities collectively paid to Palantir therefore amounts to €1.4bn."
