The V politician's extensive cases with the Crown Marshal

Expressen has examined a significant part of Mohamed Ali's life in Sweden, where he arrived as a 17-year-old at the end of 2013. The CSN-supported high school studies were already to end up with the Kronofogden three years later, but the service attempts were as fruitless as previous repayment demands.

A first installment plan that he himself presented the following year was not fulfilled at all and with the second, in 2018, it was the same. Expressen states that it would continue in a similar way with the Swedish Transport Administration's theory test and driving, as well as with the maintenance he would pay to the Social Insurance Agency for a child he brought into the world in 2016.

The debts and enforcement cases grew after unpaid blank loans, goods orders, traffic fines and telephone contracts. In autumn 2022, the authority had noted around 40 different debts totaling more than SEK 163,000 and decided on debt restructuring.

The crux was that his income was minus 2,000 kroner per month, according to the Kronofogden's calculations that Expressen refers to, and some material assets of value were missing. The solution was an almost five-year installment plan of SEK 0 per month.

Despite the authority's decision, he was registered as the owner of an old car a week later and during the period of the installment plan he has been the owner of three more vehicles. One of them was left on a street in Stockholm, which recently also turned to the Bailiff because Mohamed Ali did not respond to the municipality's orders to pay fines, salvage, storage and scrapping.

In the capital, he has also incurred debts of SEK 8,400 to regionally owned SL for so-called additional fees that are imposed on those who do not have a valid ticket in public transport, according to Expressen. The contacts with the Employment Service have also landed in financial setbacks for Mohamed Ali – he is excluded from compensation many times after violating requirements, conditions and rules.

It is this kind of pattern that is the basis for Mohamed Ali's citizenship application being rejected in 2024. "You do not meet the requirement for an honorable way of life. There is no reason to make exceptions to that requirement," the Migration Agency justified its decision, according to Expressen.

The authority made another decision in February this year. In the new application, Mohamed Ali claimed that he had paid back all his debts to the Bailiff, but new payment orders kept coming in in the meantime.

A possibly decisive reason for granting citizenship was that he claimed to have initiated a project for sustainable ecotourism in Somalia. It had "already attracted international interest" and "to further develop this, a clear legal status is required", Expressen quotes from Mohamed Ali's application.

The project was initially called Verisom and his business partner Agneta Nyvall had it presented as a company, although such a thing is not registered in either Sweden or Somalia. Together, Ali and Nyvall formed the company Afritech Growth, but her earlier optimism has turned to disappointment.

- He has not been completely honest. He has sold his ambitions, but there has been no realism in it, says Agneta Nyvall to Expressen.

- I'm not going to waste my time being angry. However, I can quickly finish this. It was stupid to write one hundred percent of the shares to him from the beginning when we changed the name to Afritech Growth. But I did it then.
