Does anyone know what the "U" stands for in nationellt efterlysta personer och u-bok (NEPU) please? Utlänningar?
I can only see it referred to as the (so-called) U-book. I personally haven't seen it before in a job.
Thanks in advance asap.

Explanation:
Kind of a shoot from the hip suggestion as there's not much out there. Good luck!

Found this (poorly preserved) definition from 1976 ( https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-lagar/dokument/proposit...
"bemyndigades siatens ullänningskommission att årligen låta trycka en förteckning över vissa utlänningar. Förteckningen utges numera av den cenirala utlännings-myndigheten, statens invandrarverk, under beteckningen U-boken, Den innehåller uppgifter angående i Sverige meddelade lagakraftvunna ut­visnings-, förvisnings- och förpassningsbeslul som innefattar ännu gäl­lande förbud att ulan särskilt lillslånd återvända lill rikel. Dessutom ingår i förteckningen uppgifter om i Danmark, Finland, Island och Norge meddelade utvisnings- och förpassningsbeslul beträffande utom­nordiska raedborgare för vilka gäller förbud att utan särskilt tillstånd återvända till det land som har raeddelal beslutet...."

My interpretation is this refers to 'utvisning' (and förvisnings och förpassningsbesult)
