Domestic. When the police stopped a 21-year-old Somali under the influence of drugs during a car trip in Gothenburg, a high-profile municipal M politician and board member in his 60s was sitting in the passenger seat. Later, the Somali borrowed the M-politician's car to drive around and rob Swedish young people. In a police interrogation, the politician, who has now been convicted, says that he acts as “an extra father” for the Somali who ended up crooked in life. But online, the M-politician's phone number is used to buy sex from younger men, the Free Times review shows.

It was in the middle of the night on a Monday in November last year that the police stopped a gray Audi A5 Sportback on Mölndalsvägen in Gothenburg.
In the driver's seat was 21-year-old Abdullah from Somalia, previously convicted of a large number of robberies, unlawful threats and assault. The police immediately noticed that he was under the influence of drugs. He had a number of tramadol tablets tucked inside his waistband.
Next to the seriously criminal, drug-affected Somali sat a more than 30-year-old Swedish man – an M-politician who at the time of the ride with Abdullah was a member of the party's committee. in the Court of Appeal and who previously represented the Moderates in the municipal council in a western Swedish municipality. It was in the politician's car that the unmarried couple was out and about.
The police check showed that the driver, Abdullah, did not have a driver's license. But that he was still behind the wheel, according to both Abdullah and the M-politician, there was a natural explanation for: they were “out driving practice”.
The police were skeptical. Why was there no practice driving license plate on the car, they wondered.
It must have fallen off, the politician replied.
Why was the M-politician not registered as a supervisor for Abdullah?
The M-politician replied that he had trained as a supervisor during practice driving when his children were going to practice driving, but did not know that he had to register as a supervisor for Abdullah.
Why did he smell alcohol?
Had he experienced Adullah as drunk while driving?
No, the M-politician would not have done that.
It is not the case that you are not out rehearsing, but that this is an explanation now in retrospect to cover up for him? asked the police.
No, absolutely not, the politician answered.
When asked what his relationship was with Abdullah, the M-politician replied that he had gotten to know him when he worked at a residence for juvenile delinquents and that they had subsequently “kept in touch”.
The M-politician was notified of suspicion of the crime of allowing illegal driving. He denied the crime and did not want to approve any criminal injunction. At a later police interrogation, the politician changed his mind and admitted that he had been guilty of allowing illegal driving.
Blood tests later showed that Abdullah was under the influence of cocaine, cannabis and tramadol during the “practice driving”.
On December 19, less than a month after the M-politician and Abdullah's car trip, three Swedish boys, all 14 years old, were at Engelbrektsskolan in Borås. Suddenly a gray Audi came driving. Two Somali men were in the car. They started demanding money from the three boys. When it turned out that the boys had no money, the Somalis instead picked up their mobile phones.
– If you talk to Aina, it will end badly, said the driver of the car before the two Somalis drove away.
One of the robbed boys memorized Audin's registration number. When the police checked the number, it turned out that it was the M-politician's Audi that the robbers had traveled in.
Some time later, the M-politician had to show up at the police station in Gothenburg. When questioned, he admitted that he had lent his Audi to Adbullah on several occasions during the autumn. The police asked the M-politician if he had lent the car on December 19, when the robbery took place. The politician then first replied that he “did not really remember this date”. He then changed his mind and said that Abdullah and three other African men had come to his home on December 19. One of them must have taken his car keys and driven away with the car without him noticing, the M-politician claimed.
The robbers were identified and prosecuted. Abdullah was sentenced in March this year to two years in prison for robbery, assault in court, illegal driving, drug driving and minor drug offenses. In April, he was sentenced to another year in prison for robbery and attempted robbery. In total, he was convicted of five different robberies, all of which were directed at Swedish youth. He seems to have been part of an immigrant gang that set up a system to rob children of mobile phones and other valuables.
The M-politician himself was convicted at the end of July for the ride with Abdullah. The penalty was a 30-day fine of SEK 390 each, a total of SEK 11,700, for allowing illegal driving.
The M-politician has been involved in local politics in his municipality and in the autumn of 2018 was elected to the municipal council for the Moderates. Shortly afterwards, he became a member of the building and service committees. He was also appointed a board member in the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden after being nominated by the Moderates. In the autumn of 2019, he resigned all his assignments for the municipality, but remained as a board member. In March 2021, he also resigned as a board member after his car-related escapades came to the attention of the Court of Appeal.
The Moderates' district chairman in the municipality where the man was a member tells Fria Tider that the M-politician is no longer active within the party. According to her, his involvement ended before the autumn of 2020 when he was out “practicing driving” and his car was used in the robbery. The moderates have not been aware of the politician's involvement with criminals or that he has been convicted of allowing illegal driving. wanted to help him “get started in life”.
But the question is whether the relationship between Abdullah and the 36-year-old M-politician has not been of a different kind. On the sex-buying site Rosa Sidan, a man in the urban area where the politician lives, who just like the M-politician is 58 years old, is looking for sex with other men. Under the heading “contact information”, the M-politician's e-mail address and telephone number are stated. The type of relationships that are in demand are described, among other things, as “SugarRelation” and “MoneySlave”, which refers to relationships with older people who have plenty of money. -post asked him if Abdullah was in fact allowed to borrow his car in exchange for sexual services. No response has been received.
