It's about enriching the people who run the operation, says audit leader Magnus Budo Ericsson at the Tax Agency to SVT.
The associations KFUM Infinite and Riksorganisationen Hikari, which is also linked to KFUM, have received support from funds, foundations, and authorities. In both associations, leaders have made foreign trips where they brought along relatives, reports SVT's Mission Investigation and SVT News Skåne.
In Riksorganisationen Hikari's case, it's about 29 foreign trips over three years, where girlfriends, wives, and children were brought along. The leaders claim that the purpose was to spread the association's meditation method.
Leaders from KFUM Infinite have traveled to, among other places, Thailand, Malaysia, and Turkey, which they themselves describe as training and inspiration trips.
The audit also shows that clothes and electronic equipment ordered by the associations were delivered to the leaders' home addresses.
The Tax Agency believes that the expenses are not part of the operation and has therefore reassessed the associations. The decision is being appealed, and KFUM Infinite claims that it is based on a misunderstanding.
