A lawyer and a police officer are among the five siblings who are charged with defrauding the Social Insurance Agency of just over six million kroner, reports The county newspaper.
According to the indictment, the siblings lied about the hours they worked for their father in Södertälje as a personal assistant. A son-in-law of the father is also charged with gross fraud.
The suspects are accused of having requested compensation for evenings, nights and weekends when they did not perform any work. Among other things, the police have been able to see card purchases around the Stockholm area while claiming that they worked for their father.
During the same period that they claimed to have performed personal assistance, the siblings also had other jobs or took out parental allowance.
Large amounts over a long period of time
According to the indictment, the documents are considered gross fraud because they involve large amounts and have been carried out systematically for a long time.
The siblings’ parents are charged with aiding and abetting serious fraud. A total of eight accused persons deny the charges.
