The Church of Sweden said on Tuesday it had launched an investigation into Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's wife, who is a Lutheran priest, after media reports raised ethical concerns about her role in a spiritual foundation she runs.
The church said complaints had been filed with Birgitta Ed's local diocese about her, and the chapter had decided to launch an investigation into her suitability to carry out her work as a priest, without specifying the nature of the reports.
Ed has recently come under scrutiny after newspaper Aftonbladet published a series of reports about her foundation Fållöknastiftelsen.
