Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad's Nazi ties 'went deeper' (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

The founder of the Ikea furniture chain, Ingvar Kamprad, is facing further questions about his Nazi past following claims in a new book.

Author Elisabeth Asbrink says Mr Kamprad was an active recruiter for a Swedish Nazi group, and stayed close to sympathisers well after World War II.

The details go beyond what Mr Kamprad has previously admitted.

The Swedish billionaire has said his involvement was youthful "stupidity", and the "greatest mistake" of his life.

In her book, Ms Asbrink says Mr Kamprad actively recruited people to the fascist Sweden's Socialist Union (SSS).

Oh, well. Must be a coincidence. Or something.

4. My question is this -- what has he done since?

What has he donated to? What has he supported with his money since? That would really tell us if it was just "youthful folly".
