The main defendant is charged with a total of 16 crimes, including aggravated accounting fraud, aggravated business money laundering and violations of the Companies Act.

The individuals are suspected of having disregarded accounting obligations for several years, both at the football club and in several companies.

"Money has been funneled between several accounts and companies to hide their origin. Millions of dollars have been moved back and forth, sometimes reinforced with false promissory notes drawn up afterwards with the aim of hiding the real origin of the money," says Helena Nilsson, State Prosecutor at the Swedish Economic Crime Agency, in a press release.
