    KD’s party secretary Johan Ingerö left his role after being reported to the police.

    Behind the police report was party leader Sara Skyttedal, who testified that she woke up during an after-party in 2014 from Ingerö caressing her thigh. The incident was classified as sexual harassment.

    Now the police have closed the case, Aftonbladet can reveal.

    The decision was made by the on-call preliminary investigation manager on Thursday and is justified by the fact that the reported act is time-barred.

    Aftonbladet has applied for Sara Skyttedal and Johan Ingerö.

  • At least 22 dead in massacre at monastery in Myanmar

  • Swedish companies afraid of having to notify staff

    The industry organization Swedish Business and Industry presents a new survey that shows that just over three out of ten Swedish companies experience an increased risk of layoffs in the coming six months, reports Ekot.

    – Many companies are having a very tough time right now, I think many have come to the point where they are forced to notify staff, says Sven-Olof Daunfeldt, chief economist at Swedish Enterprise.

    Among the hardest hit industries are the hospitality industry and trade, for example grocery stores and clothing stores.

    The trade union Unionen, on the other hand, believes that unemployment will increase by one percent in 2023.

    – If it continues to fall and the Riksbank continues to raise interest rates, faith in the future will decrease both among households and companies. The economy is a lot of psychology, if everyone thinks it’s going to go wrong then it will go wrong. We need a positive belief in the future, says Olof Daunfeldt.
