The gift of money took place while he was under indictment for serious financial crimes in the Allra case and the Pensions Authority simultaneously made damages claims against him of just over SEK 168 million, the Prosecution Authority writes in a press release.
The Court of Appeal concluded that the man was not liable to the Pensions Authority when he made the gift. The court also considered that there was no significant risk that the man would have become insolvent when the gift was made.
"In any case, in our opinion, there was a significant risk that he would end up in financial insolvency in the relatively near future when the gift was made," says bureau chief Tord Edlund, who is representing the Attorney General's case.
"He denies that there was any intention to dispose of the funds in the manner alleged by the prosecutor. Then he says that from a legal point of view, this is not a crime that has been committed," says the man's lawyer, Thomas Olsson.
Allra's founder and former CEO Alexander Ernstberger was also recently acquitted in the district court where he had also been charged with gross misconduct against a creditor.

The pension company Allra was shut down by the Swedish Pensions Authority in 2017 after complaints from savers. A month later, the authority reported Allra to the police, which, according to the Pensions Authority's investigation, had engaged in large internal transactions.
Four people, including Allra's CEO and the person in question, were initially acquitted in the district court of suspicions of aggravated bribery, aggravated bribery, aggravated breach of trust against a principal and aiding and abetting such a crime, aggravated money laundering and aggravated accounting fraud.
The verdict was appealed to the Svea Court of Appeal, where in the summer of 2021 they were sentenced to between four and six years in prison for bribery and gross disloyalty to a principal.
