Together with his fiancee Linda Staaf, the commander-in-chief has started the company Byden Ops AB.
The plan is stated to be to start operations when the assignment within the defense expires - but the company's involvement has already attracted criticism.
Labor law expert Tommy Iseskog believes that it can already constitute a trust-damaging sideline.
However, confidence in Micael Bydén as a leader within the Armed Forces remains strong, says press manager Therese Fagerstedt.
- For those of us who work with ÖB, there is no doubt at all about where his loyalty lies.
Yesterday, today and all the days he has left on his appointment, he is fully focused on solving the tasks he has on his desk.
Reported to the government
According to her, the government's trust in the commander-in-chief has also not been negatively affected:
- He has done this according to all the rules of art and reported it to the government.
From what I understand, the government has assessed that it is not a question of a trust-damaging side job.
The Swedish Armed Forces headquarters is listed as the company's c/o address.
According to the press manager, this is because ÖB has protected information.
- It's nothing strange at all.
