According to DN, Kristersson's staff helped to produce the messages that Landerholm published on X about the security incident at Gällöfsta course center.

According to Säpo's investigation, the posts do not provide a picture that corresponds to reality.

For example, it was not one document that was forgotten, but several, and they were not forgotten in a locked cabinet, as Landerholm claimed, but in an unlocked one.

What is it if not a cover-up?

The government is not covering up anything, but we have let the Government Offices' security department work on this the whole time, says Ulf Kristersson.

Is your own press chief part of the security department?

No, absolutely not. He (Landerholm) has communicated the things he perceived as correct, I don't think I'll go into that because it's part of what's currently under legal review.

Henrik Landerholm left the post as national security adviser when the criminal investigation against him began in January this year. On Tuesday, he was charged with gross negligence with confidential information.

According to the indictment, he "through gross negligence unlawfully disclosed" confidential information in documents that he forgot at the course center outside Stockholm in March 2023.
