In the end of last year, five people were sentenced to prison by the district court for mapping several executives within the stock exchange listed company Fastator and their relatives in order to pressure the company's then CEO Joachim Kuylenstierna for money.

They also threw a petrol bomb against a garage wall at home when the family was at home.

The Court of Appeal sentences a young man with connections to the Vårby network for, among other things, attempted aggravated extortion. The Court of Appeal also sentences a man for arson and two other men for aiding and abetting arson. All four receive, according to a press release from the Svea Court of Appeal, "multi-year prison sentences".

In the case, a lawyer and an entrepreneur have been pointed out as accomplices. They are acquitted by the Court of Appeal regarding the extortion part, but both are sentenced to prison for other crimes.
