He was ambassador in Ukraine at the outbreak of war and previously ambassador in Afghanistan, the newspaper writes.
The former national security adviser Henrik Landerholm left his service in January this year after revelations about several security incidents.
He is now charged with negligence with confidential information since he forgot secret documents at a conference center in March 2023.
Landerholm was employed as Sweden's first national security adviser in 2022. He got into trouble in December when DN revealed that he had caused several security incidents. Apart from the forgotten documents at the conference center, it was about a forgotten notebook at Swedish Radio in January 2023 and a forgotten mobile phone at the Hungarian Embassy in December 2022.
Landerholm denies the crime. The trial against him was supposed to start in May, but has been postponed. It is scheduled to begin preliminarily on the 18th of August, according to Altinget.
