When TT gets hold of the minister for an interview on Thursday, he does not want to answer questions about Expo's revelation and instead refers to the answers he gave when he was interviewed by TV4 earlier in July.

On the question of when the government found out about the relative's right-wing extremist connections, he does not think there is more to say about the matter.

I have nothing to add there, I have answered those questions, says Johan Forssell.

Not even when your son's activity was ended?

No, I have nothing further to add. I have already answered these questions and I refer to that, repeats Forssell.

In the interview with TV4, the Minister for Migration confirmed that his son had connections to right-wing extremist groups, but that they should be ended. He also clarified that he will remain as Minister for Migration.
