Sweden’s New Security Advisor Resigns After Grindr Photo Scandal
Following reports in Dagens Nyheter regarding “sensitive” photos from his Grindr account, Dan Eliasson Thyberg withdrew his acceptance of the National Security Advisor position. He acknowledged failing to disclose the photos to the government. Deputy National Security Adviser Annika Brändström will temporarily assume the role while a new recruitment process commences. This marks the second instance of a Swedish National Security Advisor leaving under unusual circumstances.
