Saucedo, however, was unruffled when Expressen met him after the general rep: “Send the invoice,” he says.

The fourth part of the Melodifestivalen takes place in Eskilstuna on Saturday. Danny Saucedo, among others, competes with the entry “Happy that you found me”.
But on Friday’s rehearsal before the real competition, the experienced artist may have broken SVT’s rules when he performed in branded shoes with the logo clearly visible.
The white shoes of the brand Adidas are clearly visible in pictures taken by Expressen’s photographer.
Dressing in clothes where a brand or logo is visible violates SVT’s rules on undue favoring of commercial interests.
When Expressen meets Danny Saucedo after the general rope, he is unconcerned about the violation.
– You mean it’s a brand? What are we going to do about it?, he says jokingly.
In fact, a violation like this can cost the television channel dearly.
When Samir Badran appeared in a t-shirt with the brand clearly visible in the green room at Melodifestivalen 2015, SVT was dismissed by the Review Board and forced to pay SEK 100,000.
But that doesn’t scare Danny Saucedo:
– Is it true? Send the invoice, he tells Expressen and laughs.
SVT’s answer about the violation: “Will check”
Anders Wistbacka, project manager for the Melodifestivalen, did not pay attention to the logo during the genre rope, but will review the matter before Saturday’s competition.
– I will check it, he says and continues:
– If it is too much, it must be removed.
