"I have appeared in a preliminary investigation.
I have not done anything illegal and there are no criminal suspicions against me.
However, I believe that this damages confidence in me as a political representative ", says Dag Larsson in a press release from the Social Democrats (S) in the Stockholm region.
“Out of respect for the assignment I have as an elected representative, I choose to resign from all my assignments immediately.
I am also not available as a candidate in this autumn's election. "
Catharina Piazzolla, municipal secretary for S in Stockholm, confirms the decision.
- Yes it is true.
I have spoken to him, and he has both given me his resignation and told me what is in the press release.
Neither Piazzolla nor the press contact Simon Andersson can answer what the investigation is about.
- I have no more information, says Andersson.
