The purpose of the United Front, a network of organizations and individuals, is, among other things, to strengthen the Chinese Communist Party.

Now, 17 people in Sweden are pointed out as supporters of the United Front, including a professor who, according to Cold Facts, has had several assignments for the Chinese Communist Party. The Stockholm professor, however, denies all connections to the United Front.

The names are on a leaked list that Cold Facts, together with experts and journalists in several other countries, have gone through. In total, there are around 2,000 names that are claimed to have connections to the United Front on the list.

We are familiar with the list from earlier, it is interesting to us, says Karl Melin, press chief at Säpo, to TV4.
