The Economic Crimes Authority (EBM) has announced that more crimes are being investigated and that now not only gross fraud but also gross fraud is suspected in the Intellego affair.
The Swedish Export Credit Agency (SEK) and the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) have jointly reported the company to the police for fraud.
"I can confirm that it is the Swedish Export Credit Agency and the Export Credit Board that have reported the suspicions of gross fraud and they are the plaintiffs in the investigation into the gross fraud," prosecutor Thomas Hertz tells TT.
In connection with the suspicions against Intellego's CEO regarding gross fraud, the prosecutor decided to seize SEK 100 million from the company.
Due to the new suspicions of gross fraud, an additional 130 million kronor had been requested in so-called attachment.
The seizure request is based solely on the fact that Intellego has received a profit from the fraud. Or in other words, that they have simply received money that comes from a crime, says Thomas Hertz.
The district court approved the prosecutor's request to freeze the money during a hearing on Wednesday.
Hertz does not want to comment on whether there are any suspects in the serious fraud.
Intellego also announces that they have hired the auditing firm KPMG for an independent investigation of the company's accounting and communications.
