- We take this information extremely seriously.

The party follows the development closely and will act in accordance with our internal rules of procedure, comments SD's press secretary Ludvig Grufman in an email to SVT.

- We let the legal process have its way, during that process the individual's membership will be frozen.

"In shock"

Andreas Exner, chairman of SD in Sjuhärad, answers in a similar way.

- This is extremely serious information.

I myself have ended up in a bit of a state of shock.

I did not know anything until I saw a news flash, he says and adds:

- It's hard to believe something like this about a colleague you know.

I have to land in this.

I know him as a very calm person and that only intensifies the shock now.
