Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, recently faced criticism after it was revealed that Robert Hedarv, a leader of the Comanches MC, attended his wedding.

The Comanches are considered a criminal organization by Swedish police.

Åkesson stated that he was unaware of Hedarv's connections and expressed regret over the incident, calling it an unfortunate mistake.

The wedding, attended by over 800 guests, included a diverse group of friends, colleagues, and public figures.

Critics argue that the presence of individuals linked to organized crime at such events sends troubling signals about political associations.

Åkesson emphasized his party's firm stance against organized crime, acknowledging the need for careful consideration of guest lists at public events.
