Tobias Thyberg, Sweden’s national security advisor, quit after only hours in the job after explicit images of him on the gay dating app, Grindr, were sent to the government.
Thyberg began the job on Thursday and resigned on Friday morning.
He resigned because he had neglected to tell the authorities about the images during a background security.
Said Thyberg: “These are old pictures from an account I previously had on the dating site Grindr. I should have informed about this, but I did not.”
The images were sent to the government anonymously just hours after Thyberg’s appointment was announced.
