Voice receiver sentenced for involvement in the murder of Mikael

Siren has reviewed over 15,000 vote receivers and election workers in selected municipalities in Sweden. A number of election workers have then been found with connections to violent Islamism, right-wing extremism, organized crime and the criminal motorbike environment.

A woman who worked as a voter on election day in the Stockholm area has been described by the Security Police as an "actor of interest within the violent Islamist environment".

Another voice recipient was on site when 39-year-old Mikael was shot to death in an underpass in Skärholmen in the spring of 2024, according to Siren. After the murder, he washed the bike the killer used to escape from the crime scene. The purpose was to eliminate evidence that could link the shooter to the murder in the tunnel. He was sentenced for aggravated protection of a criminal in the spring of 2025.

30 people in the screening have been linked to the right-wing extremist environment. Some of the connections are more vague, some have historical membership in the far-right National Democrats, others have bought white power music, while one person has bought material from NMR, the Nordic Resistance Movement.

It has emerged that nine people have links to organized crime. Some of these were included in the criminal grouping in Vårberg in 2018.

Five election workers have varying degrees of connections to criminal motorcycle gangs. Some through membership in various clubs, others have attended parties organized by the Hells Angels or their supporters club Red Devils MC.

In Stockholm County, a man in his 70s was second vice chairman of an electoral district. He was sentenced this summer to four months in prison for assaulting a woman he lived with on two occasions.

A man in his 30s who was a supervisor in Stockholm County during early voting in 2023 was sentenced to one year in prison for gross sexual abuse of children and child pornography. In all, Siren has found at least four election workers convicted of sexual offenses against children.
