“Over the past few days, perfectly reasonable questions have been asked about how a person with alleged links to the criminal motorcycle scene took part as a caterer and at my wedding last weekend. The short answer is that my wife and I did not know about these connections,” he writes on stage.
Hundreds of people attended the wedding, including the Minister of Economic Affairs Ebba Busch (KD).
Police: It’s a concern
The Express, which revealed the news, is reporting today that the police are criticizing the fact that the leader of the Comanches motorcycle gang was invited.

Åkesson writes further on X: “That person has been married for a couple of years to an old friend and colleague, whom I have known for 25 years and who was very close to me during a period of my life . I don’t know her current husband more than a surface, but we have met several times in connection with various events.”
Criticism from the opposition parties
In recent days, several people have directed criticism at Åkesson. V’s director, Nooshi Dadgostar, writes on X that the fact that MC’s director was invited is “a huge insult to all those affected by crime”.
The Social Democrats want Säpo to come to the justice committee to answer questions about the security arrangement around Åkesson’s wedding. Politician S Annika Strandhäll says the event is “horrific, and raises very serious questions.”
SVT Nyheter has been in contact with the Sweden Democrats’ press department, which refers to Åkesson’s statement on X.
