"The individuals have largely deceived the Swedish Employment Agency into paying support to which they were not entitled," says State Prosecutor Nils Råby, who led the preliminary investigation.

The indictment concerns aggravated fraud, aggravated business money laundering and hindering tax control, which is a felony, in several companies.

The two are alleged to have provided incorrect information when applying for employment support.

“The purpose of the crime has been to steal tax funds from the state,” says Råby.
