SVT's Dokument infrån claims in a new documentary that there is a lack of evidence for the image that media profile Joakim Lundell has given of his childhood.

Lundell has testified in an autobiography and on other channels about an upbringing full of abuse. In the book "Monster" he talks about mental and physical abuse over several years, and has used medical records as support, among other things.

SVT has now seen copies of those medical records, and says in the documentary that there is no information about abuse in them. The reason why the then eight-year-old Lundell was placed in a foster home was instead aggression problems.

Lundell's mother and stepfather were reportedly worried that he would harm his younger siblings.

Joakim Lundell himself participates in the documentary.

"If you want to go in and start picking it apart, you can absolutely do that, but I think that you are partly promoting a perpetrator," he says about the fact that scenes from his childhood that he described are missing from the documentation.

The SVT documentary "Hate" will be broadcast in three parts.
