Introduction

Controversies
In December 2004 Dagens Nyheter revealed that Shekarabi had siphoned funds from his political party's youth fund SSU into an account supposed to be used for integration projects. This account was later used for private purchases. Shekarabi claims he did not know where the money came from.
During Shekarabis leadership in the SSU it was also revealed that extensive cheating with memberships had occurred, blowing up the numbers to gain more funds from SSU.
