Johan Jakobsson, state secretary to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party), has received the green light from the County Administrative Board in Stockholm for his notorious jetty in the Stockholm archipelago, writes Aftonbladet.

It was in November last year that Jakobsson was reported to the police for having illegally built a deck and rebuilt a jetty at his country house on Värmdö.

A prosecutor investigated the case, which included environmental crimes, but the preliminary investigation was dropped. Jakobsson received approval from Värmdö Municipality retroactively after the municipality had conducted a supervision case for over a year.

The County Administrative Board in Stockholm announced in December that the approval would be reviewed since there were reasons to question the municipality's assessment.

In late May, the County Administrative Board decided that the state secretary's jetty, which is 72 square meters in size, complies with the shoreline protection regulations.

"The case of my nationally known jetty is now closed and it is finally approved", writes Johan Jakobsson on X.
