A man who ran a defector business for young criminals is sentenced to nine months in prison for two cases of serious tax crime, reports P4 Stockholm.
The man and his defector business, which, among other things, collaborated with a sports association in Stockholm, are said to have been dragged by financial worries, which forced the man to take out private loans in various forms. The loan must then have been paid off with the company’s money, according to P4 Stockholm.
According to the district court, the man thereby withheld a total of around two million kroner from taxation. Money that the district court should have accounted for and declared as salary.
The man, who no longer runs the business, believes that he had to choose between paying the Swedish Tax Agency or his friends money. He then chose the latter.
