The man, who is pointed out as one of the sales managers, has been convicted and investigated for crimes on several occasions, according to the newspaper. He is said to be wanted because he did not show up in Sweden to serve a prison sentence.

Rickard Blom, CEO of Effective Communication, which operates in Barcelona, tells Expressen that the man's background was unknown to the company when he was hired a few years ago. However, the company has since found out about the warrant.

There has been a storm surrounding Kombispel, a subsidiary of the Social Democratic A-lotteries, since Dagens Nyheter revealed on Thursday that aggressive telemarketing had been conducted and that elderly people had been exploited.

The Social Democratic Party demanded on Friday that members of Kombispel's board of directors resign, which two SSU representatives did on Saturday, and the CEO was fired. The Social Democratic Party does not comment on Expressen's information about the warrant for the sales manager, but refers to the previous measures.
