When the affair came to light, following consultations between the Swedish Tax Agency and the Swedish Enforcement Authority, it emerged that the treasurer had deposited a total of SEK 618,842 from the cash register into his own bank account between the beginning of 2021 and the end of 2022.
The treasurer has now been sentenced by Örebro District Court for gross breach of trust against a principal. He received a suspended sentence and a fine of SEK 47,600, and was ordered to pay the association SEK 583,842 in damages.
The damages are lower than the amount the treasurer took. He has already paid some of it back and made certain purchases for the association with his own money.
