It was in May this year that Jimmie Åkesson was in Tranås for a performance. He then had a powerful firecracker thrown at him that detonated and gave off a loud noise. In the interrogation, the party leader says that the bang caused a ringing sound in his right ear.

In an investigation of the teenager's cellphone, police found searches on Jimmie Åkesson both before and after the attack. The teenager is now suspected of assault or assault.
