A search has been conducted at several locations around the Gothenburg area. The suspicions of crime include, among other things, serious tax offenses and serious money laundering through several companies operating in the healthcare sector.
According to the Economic Crime Authority, it involves millions of kronor in evaded taxes. A property worth around 20 million kronor has also been financed with money from one of the companies involved.
"The criminal activity has been going on for a couple of years and has essentially involved the suspects enriching themselves through systematic withdrawals and private purchases using the companies' assets," says Katarina Kepplerus, lead investigator and prosecutor at the Economic Crime Authority in Gothenburg, in a press release.
Three more people were arrested but will not be requested to be detained. However, the suspicions against the individuals remain.
