Björn Söderberg was a member of the Sveriges Arbetares Central Organization, a syndicalist union. While working as a warehouse worker for office supplies, he discovered that there were many neo-Nazis among his colleagues and gave the Swedish news magazine Arbetaren a hint about the Nazi past of his colleague and shop steward for the union Robert Vesterlund . This notice led to a newspaper article dated September 16, 1999, in which this issue was discussed. As a result, Robert Vesterlund gave up his post as a union member and resigned from his position.

death

This motivated Hampus Hellekant and Jimmy Niklasson, both with connections to the Swedish Nazi organization Nationell Ungdom , and Björn Lindberg-Hernlund to shoot Björn Söderberg on October 12 while leaving his apartment.

Hampus Hellekant and Björn Lindberg-Hernlund were convicted in court for the murder of Björn Söderberg, Jimmy Niklasson for "skyddande av brottsling, grovt vapenbrott, och förberedels" (for example: preparing and assisting in a serious act of violence).
