No matter how the appointment of Landerholm was made, the fact that he is now under prosecution is something that does not just disappear, says Krister Thelin to Expressen.

The former security adviser Henrik Landerholm is prosecuted for gross negligence with confidential information since he forgot secret documents at a conference center in March 2023.

On the platform X, Thelin writes that the Prime Minister should "step down in the fall and be replaced by (Justice Minister Gunnar) Strömmer".

The Moderate Party dismisses Thelin's statement. "What individual people have for opinions is up to them", answers Martin Borgs, deputy party secretary, in a written comment.
