Swedish minister resigns over TV licence fee

The Minister for Culture in Sweden has resigned after admitting not paying her television licence fee.

Cecilia Stego Chilo said she had not paid the licence fee of €160 a year for the past 16 years.

She also admitted not paying employer taxes when taking on a nanny.

Ms Chilo is the second minister to resign over financial irregularities since a new government was sworn in earlier this month.
