At the newspaper’s request, the Swedish Enforcement Authority checked all current members of parliament. None, apart from Mohamed Ali, are listed in its register.
Two years ago, Ali was denied Swedish citizenship because of his debts. He has since been granted citizenship and is now subject to debt relief. He has said he will do what is right for him.
At the same time, he has incurred new debts, including unpaid motor insurance premiums and parking fines.
According to Expressen, he has avoided being served by the Swedish Enforcement Authority even after the election.
That’s not how it should be. I have worked with people who have problems with debt and other things. You can usually get that sorted out, and I assume he will now, says V’s deputy chair Ida Gabrielsson to the newspaper.
Ali has not been present in parliament since the election. Police are investigating suspected election fraud linked to his personal election campaign. He has not been charged with a crime.
V initially stated that Ali would be away while the investigation was ongoing. The party now says he will take up his parliamentary duties “shortly”.
