Åkesson has thus made a private deal that increased the turnover of his own company by 1.7 million, according to TV4. Olle Lundin, professor of administrative law, says it is not illegal but unethical and inappropriate.
"From the outside, it looks like a classic example of corruption," he says in the program.
In total, 80,000 copies of the book "The Modern Folk Home" were printed by Jimmie Åkesson's own publishing house and were later purchased by the subsidiary ADBO Sverige, which sent a large part to incineration when they were not sold.
SD confirms the book was sold to the company, but would not say how much the party leader received in compensation.
