Five individuals with ties to an international criminal network are being prosecuted for serious economic crimes, announces the Economic Crime Authority in a press release. The individuals are suspected of having laundered approximately 650 million kronor through several companies.

"This involves extensive VAT fraud and serious money laundering. Ultimately, this type of serious organized economic crime poses a serious threat to the financing of our collective welfare," says Mårten Hallsten, chief prosecutor and investigation leader, in the press release.

The defendants are alleged to have ties to a company in the logistics industry where customers were involved in "extensive VAT fraud with electronic products."

The crimes are said to have been committed between 2020 and 2021. The suspicions concern serious tax offenses, serious money laundering offenses, and serious accounting offenses.
