A former V-top in Alingsås municipality is being charged with embezzling thousands of kronor from his former employer, Alingsås Tidning reports. The affair was uncovered when chats from three politicians were revealed by GP last year.

The preliminary investigation was initiated after Göteborgs-Posten revealed that three politicians in Alingsås – a moderate, a social democrat and a former V politician – had a secret chat group. In the group, which was called “Gingänget”, they settled behind the scenes on various issues and spoke badly about politicians and civil servants in Alingsås.

The V-top is now being charged with eleven counts of embezzlement totaling around 16,000 kronor and 36 counts of breach of trust against a principal.

It's about false returns where purchases are made at the checkout and where the money is then transferred to your own account, prosecutor Andreas Ekengren tells Alingsås Tidning .

The company suspects that everything is not right and they conduct their own investigation. They confront the employee, who then confesses, and loses his job, says Andreas Ekengren.

The V-toppen is also reasonably suspected, the lower level of suspicion, of arson in a separate investigation that concerns a fire that broke out in April in the Left Party's premises in Alingsås.
