They will come back with an analysis of this. Has it gone right or gone wrong? And then we will take a stand on this, says Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M).

Henrik Landerholm has several times been exposed for being careless with sensitive documents. According to Dagens Nyheter, he has, among other things, forgotten a mobile phone at the Hungarian embassy and secret documents at a conference center.

How do you think the public's trust is affected?

It's clear that this is not good. It's obvious. He himself has said so and I have confirmed it.

Taking it seriously

Ulf Kristersson says that it is important to investigate the mistakes that have been made.

I'm not rushing to any conclusions right now. These are important matters. We take them seriously, but they must also be investigated in the right way.

I have good reason to believe that it has been done correctly. But I want to ensure that it has really been done correctly.

Kristersson and Landerholm are old friends, and there has been criticism of how the situation is being handled due to this. But it's just rumor-mongering according to Ulf Kristersson.

I don't comment on general media rumors. Then I wouldn't have anything else to do during the days.

Säpo is said to be investigating

According to Expressen, Landerholm's carelessness with secret documents has become a case for the Security Police.

According to the newspaper, a kind of preliminary investigation is underway where special prosecutors at the National Security Unit will investigate whether a criminal investigation, i.e. a preliminary investigation, should be initiated against Landerholm or not.

We can neither confirm nor deny the information you have. We refer you to the prosecutors if you want a comment, says Gabriel Wernstedt, press secretary at the Security Police, to Expressen.

The Government Offices' security chief decided that no police report would be filed.

The Left Party has previously reported Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) to the Riksdag's Constitutional Committee. The Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party have demanded that Landerholm resign from his post.
