The man is suspected of having exploited, among others, relatives and acquaintances to take out loans in their names. He is also suspected of having, via various intermediaries, bought properties and apartments and then mortgaged them.

He is now being prosecuted at Värmlands District Court, suspected of a large number of serious frauds, according to the Economic Crime Authority.

In total, it concerns credit fraud for over 27 million kronor during 2017-2023.

In connection with a search of his home in Karlstad this spring, a large number of bank cards and mobile phones with other people's bank IDs were found, among other things.

"What is common to the people the main suspect has exploited is that they are relatively newly arrived in Sweden and do not speak Swedish. They have had great trust in him and have been dependent on his help with managing their economy," says prosecutor Marianne Staaf in a press release.
