On or about 27 January 2016, Eliasson sparked controversy in Sweden and beyond by appearing to sympathize with a Somalian "teenage" asylum-seeker accused of having murdered a social worker in Molndal, a suburban community near Gothenburg (Goteborg).
Later, it emerged that the killer was not under 18 and possibly not even a teenager, but had lied about his age in order to receive favourable treatment when claiming asylum. Dan Eliasson is also known for his history in the punk scene with his band Bad Boo Band.
The bands biggest hit was a 1979 7" single called Knulla i Bangkok (Fucking In Bangkok).
