Six people are being charged with serious financial crime. The principal is suspected of withholding 200 million kronor in dividend taxes.

"Since a lot of money is involved, I consider the crimes serious," said Victor Stenberg, senior prosecutor at the Swedish Economic Crime Agency, in a press release.

The principal is accused of withholding foreign dividends on his tax returns and is suspected of serious tax evasion. The co-defendants are a business partner, three family members and a lawyer.

"Some of the other people who are being charged have in various ways helped him transfer money," said Stenberg.

The business partner is charged with aggravated accounting fraud, the family members with aggravated money laundering, and the lawyer with aggravated business money laundering.

The crime allegedly took place between 2018 and 2022, according to the indictment.
