According to Expo's review, he liked a post from December 2024 with a revised version of the poster for the film "Hajen". The English title "Jaws" has been replaced with "Jews". The shark seen in the original image has been replaced with a large nose and the swimming people with $100 bills.

He has also liked a post that was published shortly after the 2018 election. The upper part of the image shows refugees traveling in a small rubber boat at sea and the other part shows a hand holding a needle, directed towards the boat's underside.

Among the accounts Daniel Lönn follows on Instagram are two people linked to the Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR).

Lönn is a substitute for an ordinary member and is now being investigated by the Sweden Democrats. The party's press service tells Expo that they are looking closer at the information "according to internal routines".

Lönn believes that following people linked to NMR does not say anything about his political affiliation, he writes to Expo. Regarding the posts, Lönn claims that he does not recognize the likes.

"Regarding the image from 2018, I don't recognize it, it's been seven years, before my political career even began", he writes to the newspaper.
