Ulf Kristersson's top aide PM Nilsson resigns over illegal eel fishing
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's top aide PM Nilsson announced last night that he is resigning.
"I understand how inappropriate it was to fish for eels without a permit and not tell authorities the truth about it," PM Nilsson wrote on Facebook.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson says it's a sad situation, but that he understands why Nilsson has decided to resign.
