Lindberg was going to be fired because of complaints from the employees -- but he got reinstated, by Bodström himself! That was a few years before the big scandal.
That is well known and has been in the major media. Google gave me this link. IIRC, I originally read it in DN or SvD.

>>I december 2002 skickade polisfacket i Uppsala ett brev direkt till justitieminister Thomas Bodström där de krävde att Lindberg skulle avgå.
>>– Från justitieministern fick vi inget svar över huvud taget, säger Gunnar Elrud, som då var ordförande för polisfacket.
(And being at -3 in the original comment for posting well known facts, while that simple questioning got +11, is really funny...)
