The Swedish Central Bank can redeem old, invalid Swedish banknotes. In this case, the Swedish Central Bank says no. It is not possible to prove that the cash did not originate in criminal activity, even if there are no suspicions.
Therefore, the person applying for redemption must be able to explain the origin of the money and present supporting documentation, says Tomas Lundberg, the Swedish Central Bank's press officer, to Mitt i.
The man appealed the decision to the Administrative Court, which rejected it, saying: "Essential information is missing about the origin and acquisition of the banknotes."
