Criminal got job as social worker

A former leader of a criminal motorcycle gang has managed to bluff his way into a job as a social worker in Helsingborg, reports HD/Sydsvenskan.

The man has previously been convicted of, among other things, gross fraud, weapons offenses, drug offenses, and perjury. Just days after he started working as a social worker in Helsingborg, he was convicted of using false information to get a job as a nurse in Eslöv municipality. However, he managed to work for several months as a social worker before the municipality's security department was alerted.

During his employment as a social worker, the man made searches in systems he was not authorized to access. The municipality has reported him to the police for data intrusion, forgery, and abuse of office.
