The woman transferred a total of 18.3 million kronor from the municipality to her own bank accounts, writes the Prosecution Authority in a press release.
According to the indictment, the woman, who is in her 60s, made 179 transfers between 2019 and 2023.
"I think it should be assessed as gross because it has meant significant damage to the municipality and it's about large sums of money in total. Moreover, I think the crime setup has been sophisticated since it has been invoiced in a way that has made it difficult to detect", says prosecutor Susanne Öhbom in the press release.
The woman claims herself that she has been subjected to a romance scam.
