The Swedish Export Credit Agency (SEK) and the Swedish Export Credit Board (EKN) are jointly reporting the company Intellego to the police for suspicion of fraud, according to a press release.

Citing investigative secrecy, they are not providing any further details.

Previously, the Swedish Economic Crime Authority (EBM) announced that they now suspect both gross fraud and gross fraud in the Intellego affair, writes Dagens Industri.

"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 SEK 130 million has been requested to be seized.

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.

Hertz does not want to comment on whether there are any suspects in the serious fraud.

This afternoon, negotiations will be held in Stockholm District Court regarding the seizure.

On Wednesday, Intellego announced that they have hired the auditing firm KPMG to conduct an independent investigation of the company's accounting and communications.
