A woman in Västerås stole large sums of money from a 70-year-old woman she worked as a personal assistant for. Now she has been convicted of gross fraud, writes Vestmanlands Läns Tidning.

The robbed woman, who had several personal assistants, needed help with paying bills, among other things. One day, another of her personal assistants discovered a suspicious transaction on the woman's account and raised the alarm.

It turned out that the woman who has now been convicted had transferred money to her own account on 26 occasions in 2022 by using her client's bank ID and bank card. The total amount added up to nearly 860,000 kronor.

The woman has been sentenced to one year and two months in prison.
