In the criticized deal in Åsele, then-municipal councilor Andreas From bought a house from a woman with dementia without the sale going on the open market. The woman's son was also not given a chance to have his say about the sale.
On Wednesday, the County Administrative Board criticized the Supreme Guardianship Board in Southern Lapland's approval of the sale. Criticism was also directed at Social Democrat Gunnel Jonsson, who is now resigning. According to the County Administrative Board, she should have recused herself and not participated in the decision, since she was a party colleague of From.
In March, Andreas From resigned as municipal councilor, but insisted that he had done nothing wrong.
