It is about Robert Hedarv, president of the criminal The MC gang Comanches, which is on Säpo's list of criminal gangs and is compared to competitors such as Hells Angels and Bandidos.

Hedarv, who was invited to Åkesson's wedding as a companion to Mattias Karlsson's ex-wife, has according to sources participated in several of Åkesson's parties in recent years. Among other things, he is said to have attended an exclusive “hierarchy party” in 2018 where only those who received Åkesson's approval were invited, according to a source for Aftonbladet.

Jimmie Åkesson has previously denied knowledge of the man's background, and both the party leadership and SD's press department have reportedly chosen not to inform him about the gang connection.

Several SD leaders, including Mattias Karlsson and Richard Jomshof, have known about the man's background but claim not to have shared the information with Åkesson.
