Expert: Investigate Kristersson in the Landerholm Case

The Riksdag's Constitutional Committee (KU) should initiate an investigation of its own into why Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) did not ensure that the now former national security adviser Henrik Landerholm's suspected negligence with confidential information was reported to the police. This is the opinion of freedom of expression and secrecy expert, journalist Nils Funcke in an article on DN Debatt.

He emphasizes that the twists and turns surrounding Landerholm raise a number of questions about how the Government Offices comply with laws, regulations, and rules regarding everything from record-keeping to the obligation to report certain crimes for prosecution. These are questions that citizens, according to Funcke, have the right to get answers to.

Nils Funcke wants to know why the Government Offices' security chief did not report Landerholm to the police after the internal investigation was conducted. And what considerations did the Prime Minister make when he became aware of the investigation and the security chief's decision? Funcke also wonders why the internal investigation was not recorded in the diary until 673 days later and claims that it should have been recorded when the decision was made not to report Landerholm to the police.

It is also important to investigate what measures the Government Offices took after Landerholm forgot his mobile phone overnight at the Hungarian Embassy in 2022.

"The fact that an unreliable state in security policy terms had access to Landerholm's phone means that the content should be considered compromised," Funcke asserts.

Recently, the police launched a preliminary investigation into gross negligence with confidential information against Landerholm, and he then left his position.
