TV profile Anders Öfvergård, 55, best known from the reality and interior design program Arga snickaren, was sentenced on Monday for petty theft to 40 daily fines. The Nacka District Court announces this. According to the verdict, Öfvergård has stolen meat worth around SEK 400.
It was at the end of June that the TV profile was reported for theft after being caught by a plainclothes shop inspector with stolen goods in the self-scan at an ICA store in Värmdö. He left the store with three pieces of sirloin steak and entrecote that he did not pay for in the self-scan.
Öfvergård has denied that he intended to steal and believes that it was “a mistake” as he was stressed.
– I understand that I have managed to leave without paying for all the goods, but that was not my intention. There is no intention to snitch, a mistake, says the TV profile during a police interrogation.
Checked the profile
According to the police report, the store has previously had control over the profile that has shopped there for ten years. This is also why a supervisor was assigned to follow Öfvergård on the occasion in question. “The store controller received information from the store staff regarding a customer who regularly steals goods in the store,” the report states.
Öfvergård has also previously been involved in self-scanning checks where all goods were not scanned, according to the store. Something Öfvergård himself admitted during the trial.
– I have received some reconciliations that worked perfectly. But I also received some reconciliations where it didn’t match, says the profile during the trial.
Ended up in windy weather before
Anders Öfvergård has himself criticized and confronted criminals in his television programs “Anders och knarket” and “Anders och vørelet”. But it is not the first time that he himself finds himself in bad weather.
In 2019, he was a guest on Malou Efter tio and put the rapper Greekazo against the wall for his lyrics about gang crime in Sweden. After the heavily criticized interview, Malou von Sivers said that it was a mistake to invite Öfvergård to the program.
In the fall of 2021, during an end party for the filming of “Robinson” in the Dominican Republic, he wanted to drive a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle even though he was drunk. When a co-worker tried to stop him, he allegedly raised his voice at her, grabbed her and started a “wrestling match.”
In a written comment to TV4 Nyheterna, Anders Öfvergård writes that he is “actually both surprised and disappointed.”
“For the rest, I must refer to what I have already told you,” he writes.
