The crimes are alleged to have been committed through a company that offers consulting services for companies that have been affected by economic problems. The business has been declared bankrupt.
”The criminal activity is a threat to the system because the front man setup has made the transparency in the company minimal at the same time as taxes and fees have not been paid, which means great harm to the state”, says preliminary investigation leader Julia Nyander, deputy district prosecutor at the Economic Crime Authority, in a press release.
Detention hearings will take place against one of the suspects on Friday. Two of the suspects are detained in their absence and arrested in Spain. Three of the suspects have been released but suspicions remain.
”I assess the evidence as strong", says Julia Nyander.
