According to the indictment, the lawyer allowed the law firm's bank account to be used to receive payments when newly produced condominiums were sold, after the property developer's accounts were closed. He then forwarded the money without checking where it came from and where it was going.
The indictment covers 147 million kronor, but a total of approximately 300 million kronor is suspected to have passed through the law firm's client account during the period from December 2022 to January 2025.
"Organized economic crime often needs the help of so-called facilitators, professionals such as lawyers, bank officials or real estate agents, to be able to carry out advanced crime schemes. These individuals contribute to the crime being able to continue," says prosecutor Philip Gunnarsson in a press release.
