A moderate municipal politician in Blekinge must pay back just over 1.1 million kronor after requesting too much compensation.

P4 Blekinge has revealed that the politician received double compensation. She requested extra compensation for preparing documents and meetings, but these were tasks that were part of the political assignment for which she was already receiving compensation.

In addition, she requested compensation for lost income, even though she was on leave.

The politician has defended herself by saying that she acted in good faith, reports SVT Nyheter Blekinge.
