A pharmacy employee issued 135 false prescriptions by making up information about people with high-cost protection.

According to the preliminary investigation, the receptionist has used 68 different personal identity numbers to be able to collect medication on 135 occasions, writes Svensk Farmaci.

The prosecutor believes that each of the 135 incidents should be assessed as a data breach.

The employed woman has admitted, but denies crime. Instead, the purpose was to make an inventory cleaning of old medicines.

The penalty value normally corresponds to a shorter prison sentence. But the acts were committed in 2019 and the delay means that she avoids prison.

Uddevalla district court sentences the woman to a conditional sentence and damages of 107,000 kronor to her employer.
