Swedish bodyguards reveal PM’s location on fitness app

Swedish security service members who shared details of their running and cycling routes on fitness app Strava have been accused of revealing details of the prime minister’s location, including his private address.

According to Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, on at least 35 occasions bodyguards uploaded their workouts to the training app and revealed information linked to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, including where he goes running, details of overnight trips abroad, and the location of his private home, which is supposed to be secret.

Information uploaded to Strava was also linked to the Swedish royal family, former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, and Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the government-supporting Sweden Democrats party.

According to Dagens Nyheter, a bodyguard posted details of a run in Bodø in Norway while Kristersson was meeting with his Norwegian and Finnish counterparts, Jonas Gahr Støre and Alexander Stubb. Kristersson later posted a picture on social media of the three leaders running together.
