(AFP) The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) on Friday said their leader Jimmie Akesson has received a letter with a death threat as the party is on course to win record support in Sunday’s legislative election.
“We hope that this threat is not real,” party spokesman Oskar Cavalli-Bjorkman told AFP, adding they’re awaiting the Swedish security and intelligence service Sapo’s assessment.
A copy of the threat letter, with the Islamic State group’s flag at the top, was published by Swedish media.
