It was at Easter that Jens Arbén stopped outside the central station in Malmö to drop off his mother and brother at the train.
Jen’s 91-year-old mother has difficulty walking, but it was still quite quick to get both relatives and bags out of the car at the boarding and disembarking point.
Then a man dressed in black crept up and photographed the car, and a seemingly mundane situation took a new turn.
– I ask him what he is doing and get the answer that I am not allowed to park there. But I wasn’t parking, I was dropping off two passengers, says Jens.
Jens says that the feeling after the incident was not good – something that was confirmed three weeks later when a fine of SEK 860 reached him.
Jens has contested the parking ticket several times, but has only received in response that the guard stated that he told Jens that he was not allowed to stand there and wait for anyone.
To TV4 Nyheterna, the parking company Apcoa’s operational manager Fredrik Westergård says that an internal investigation has begun and that they do not want to give any interviews while it is ongoing.
