Previously, Dagens Nyheter has revealed that Henrik Landerholm caused several security incidents. Aftonbladet has also been able to show that partially private trips to Berlin, where his partner lived, were paid for by taxpayers.

During his time as Director-General of the Swedish Authority for Psychological Defence (MPF) in 2022, MPF paid for eight flights for Landerholm to or from Berlin. The trips cost a total of 41,127 kronor.

For six of the trips, the authority cannot provide any documentation explaining their purpose. It is also impossible to say whether the trips were made for official or private reasons, writes NWT.

"We have submitted the existing documents/receipts, we have not found any additional documents regarding 'motives' or similar", writes MPF in an email to NWT.

The authority writes further that "MPF will go back and make a renewed assessment of the details surrounding individual trips".
