A former bank employee in Dalarna is suspected of having transferred money from his employer to himself over several years, reports SVT Nyheter Dalarna.
According to the indictment, the banker created three fake borrowers via a scheme, to whom the bank then transferred credits. The money was then transferred to the man’s own account.
The crimes were discovered in connection with the bank discovering that one of the fictitious customers had not paid his loan as planned. After checking driver’s license details, the bank was able to establish that the borrowers did not exist in official registers. In addition, two non-existent apartments had been mortgaged.
The man has admitted the acts, but denies the crime on the grounds that he intended to repay the money. The crimes took place between the years 2012 and 2018.
The banker is now charged with two counts of gross infidelity against the principal.
