Almost 400 Swedish politicians have active debts with the Enforcement Authority, investigation finds

A review of elected representatives in municipalities, regions and the Riksdag found that 387 of 21,854 politicians have active debts with the Swedish Enforcement Authority.

Proportionally, the Sweden Democrats have the most indebted politicians, followed by the Left Party.

In terms of the size of the debts, the Centre Party stands out, with by far the highest personal debt per elected representative.

Just over half of the debts are under 98,000 kronor. The average debt is 364,000 kronor, with a few large debts pushing up the figure.

In the Riksdag, the well-known Left Party member Mohamed Ali is the only member of parliament with debts registered with the Swedish Enforcement Authority, as Expressen has reported.
