Six people have been prosecuted at the Stockholm District Court, suspected of serious economic crime. The prosecution concerns, among other things, serious money laundering crimes, serious accounting crimes, serious tax crimes and offenses against the Accounting Act, according to a press release from the Economic Crime Authority.

The defendants are suspected of having subjected an insurance company to systematic fraud during 2022 and 2023 and thereby having come into possession of 49 million kronor. The money has been paid out to various companies where it has been laundered and then transferred to the six defendants, a woman and five men.

The profits from the crime have mainly gone to luxury consumption. Among other things, the defendants have bought antiques for 6.2 million from an auction house. Cash, gold, and valuable vehicles were also found with the suspects.
