Of the eleven people who received a refund of over SEK 200,000 from the Social Insurance Agency last year, the woman is the one with the highest amount.
According to Peter Fausö, acting business area manager, the scam is based on persistence.
— The system itself is based on a form of trust, it should be easy and flexible to deal with us. It opens the door to the fact that if you want to commit these crimes in a studied manner, it is possible, he tells SvD.
In total, Försäkringskassan demanded back close to SEK 85 million from parents last year, with around 1,700 police reports as a result, as reported by SVT Nyheter.
