– Karin Char has partly been in the decision itself when Macchiarini employee, and also as university director had a responsibility for how structures and administration functions in the university says Christer Nylander, group leader of the Liberals.

He says Hellmark Knutsson (S) has been quick to demand that other responsible should resign, but even her Secretary of State should take responsibility .

– it is clear that it is plausible that it is the Minister’s closest associates who is the one not yet been released.

But the claim that the trout would have to decide if Macchiarinis employment is directly wrong, according to the civilian Minister Ardalan Shekarabis (S) Secretary Roswall Annelie Ljunggren.

– it’s a rather strange question to politicize this way. The Rules of Procedure of the Karolinska Institute says that the university director attends the meetings decided by the President, but it is the principal who makes decisions, she says.

The lawyer Sten Heckscher , who investigated the scandal, tones down Roding responsibility Macchiarini affair.

– Her role was very marginal, says Heckscher.

Char has previously managed the government’s contacts with KI Macchiarini-matter, but climbed in February this year aside due jävrisk. She has indicated to the TT that her task in connection with their employment was to witness that the right person wrote in the decision.

Monday announced Hellmark Knutsson at a press conference at Rosenbad in Stockholm KI the then Vice Chancellor, University Chancellor Harriet Wallberg, poked from his post and that parts of the KI board is replaced. Previously, among others KI headmaster Anders Hamsten and KI’s chairman Leijonborg resigned from their posts.
