According to media reports, the Social Democrat has employed an illegal cleaner in her house. Police drove to Andersson’s home in Nacka, near the capital Stockholm, after the alarm system was accidentally triggered there. There, the officers met a cleaning lady with illegal residence status.

She also added that the head of the cleaning company had assured her that all his employees would work legally.
