In January 2023, Landerholm forgot a notebook in Radio Huset, something that Dagens Nyheter was the first to tell about. The incident is not the only one, as Landerholm is said to have previously forgotten his mobile phone at the Hungarian embassy and classified documents at a course farm.
According to Aftonbladet, he has also let the taxpayer pay for trips to his special residence in Berlin. Something that made the Social Democrats demand his resignation.
– He can no longer be protected by the bonds of friendship with Kristersson, said Peter Hultqvist (S).
Bid notebook by taxi
The Ekot now reports that Landerholm’s notebook was not picked up by any employee, when he forgot it in the radio house. It was offered instead with a taxi to a cafe in central Stockholm. Landerholm states that it was not a secret notebook.
The Prime Minister’s press department tells TV4 Nyheterna that the offered notebook in the taxi is part of the security assessment that is now being done against Landerholm.
According to information to TV4 Nyheterna, Prime Minister Kristersson has urged his M colleagues not to talk to the media about the matter. Before a meeting with the party’s parliamentary group, he is said to have told his party colleagues to “make sure there is no fuss and that no one talks to the press”, according to the data.
Landerholm: Not my decision
Lennart Ohlsson was formerly head of counterintelligence at the Military Intelligence and Security Service, Must, and is critical of the action. Several other security experts are also critical of the action.
– The probability that there is sensitive information in the security adviser’s notebook is quite high. Then I don’t understand that you leave it to a taxi driver. It goes without saying that the security advisor’s notebook is threat material if it were to get to a foreign power, says Ohlsson to Ekot.
Landerholm believes that he did not act negligently and that it was not he who decided to send the notebook by taxi.
– It was not an assessment that I made at the time, it was made by others. And also that incident, all of these occurred during a three-month period right at the beginning of my work, he tells Ekot.
