Three are suspected in the election fraud scandal in Borlänge

The case concerning suspected electoral fraud in Borlänge, which was opened following reports that unauthorized campaigns to get voters to vote for a certain candidate had taken place, has taken a step further in the legal process.

From court documents that DN has seen on Thursday, it appears that three people have been served with suspicion of crime. Documents also show that the prosecutor requested that three public defenders be appointed, which Expressen was the first to report.

The criminal suspicions relate partly to improper influence during voting in Borlänge, which must have taken place between August 26 and September 4, partly to taking an improper advantage during voting in Borlänge, which must have taken place on August 28, and finally aiding and abetting improper influence during voting, also on August 28.

The police raided several addresses in Borlänge on Tuesday. They were linked to the high-profile election fraud investigation. According to prosecutor Oskar Edvardsson, several seizures were then made that may be of interest to the investigation.

No connection to the Left Party has been confirmed. Cal Orre at the party's press office says they don't know who it is.

- We have no more information and also found this out through the news that just came out.

The leftist Mohamed Abdukardir Ali, who was cross-examined in the Riksdag, tells SVT that he is not one of the suspects in the case.

- I have not been notified of suspicion of any crime. I will keep my place in the Riksdag and represent the people who voted for me, he tells the channel.
