The lawsuit against the former security adviser was submitted to Attunda District Court on Tuesday morning.
At the end of January, Henrik Landerholm left his position as a national security adviser. He then stood during an investigation of the Security Police regarding negligence with secret task, after submitting secret documents in a courtyard.
Peter Hultqvist, who is chairman of the Riksdag’s defense committee, takes a serious look at the prosecution.
– It proves a total accident in the Government Offices, because they were aware of this and they chose to try to keep the information from the public, says Hultqvist.
– Therefore, it will be an important issue, who is it at the Government Offices who made a decision to put the lid on this issue from the beginning?, He continues.
Ankles the government for darkening
Peter Hultqvist believes that the case cannot be considered as closed, just because Landerholm has left and that the legal case now has its way in the former security adviser.
– There is someone who has also decided on darkening of this and we think that is deeply serious, he says.
It was a maid who found Henrik Landerholms left forgotten secret acts. Months later, she received SEK 15,000 from a relative to a previously well -known Chechen extremist leader in Sweden.
“Pure misery”
Peter Hultqvist sees the whole story as “extremely strange”.
– Then he himself apparently says that he did not perceive that the documents were secret, even though there was an “h”. I have had a lot of secret acts to deal with over the years and I know that you see that it says an “h”, says the Social Democrat and continues:
– I think it is pure misery this case and it shows that he has not been mature to handle this kind of things.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) does not want to comment on the charge against Henrik Landerholm, but points out that it is an ongoing legal process.
– The government office darkens absolutely nothing. I had no reason to question the government’s experts in their assessments. I don’t work that way. Now it is a legal issue that has to decide what has gone right or wrong, says the prime minister about Hultqvist’s criticism.
