Krister Thelin has participated in several investigations and is currently the government’s special investigator on the issue of a national begging ban.
After the investigation against former national security adviser Henrik Landerholm was recognized in the media, Thelin has in several posts on X called on Ulf Kristersson to resign, reports Expressen.
Ulf Kristersson and Henrik Landerholm are childhood friends and the Prime Minister hand -picked him for the assignment, something that Thelin also criticizes.
The deal creates question marks
On January 27, Henrik Landerholm resigned from his service after it emerged that he forgot secret documents at a conference facility outside Stockholm.
Already earlier, the Government Offices conducted its own investigation of the forgotten documents, but concluded that Landerholm would not be reported to the police.
However, the investigation was only passed on after 673 days – when the media started reporting on the matter.
The political business has created question marks about the security of the Government Offices and how the case has been handled.
“Let Kristersson be replaced by Strömmer”
In August, the trial begins, where Landerholm is charged with carelessness with secret task. Thelin believes that regardless of outcome, the case will move on to a higher instance.
– If the prosecution is approved, Landerholm will want to have it tried in the High Court. And if the High Court was to determine a conviction, I imagine that he is trying to get it up to the Supreme Court. Although it will not succeed, HD takes a long time to decide that there will be no trial permit, he tells Expressen.
The deal will thus continue to live on in the media and as a punching bag for the opposition until the election next year, says Krister Thelin.
“Suggestion: Let UK (Ulf Kristersson) step down this fall and be replaced by Strömmer, ie throwing off your Albatrossen,” he writes on X.
In a written comment to SVT, the Moderates’ Deputy Party Secretary Martin Borgs writes:
“Thelin’s statement is not news, but he has tweeted this before. What individuals have for opinions is up to them. We focus on accessing the criminal gang, equip the defense in a historical speed, build our energy system and get the economy going.”
