“We welcome the Kronofogden’s decision,” writes her lawyer Mark Safaryan to Expressen.
After Persson’s performance in the Melodifestivalen in Växjö, the Kronofogden knocked on her hotel room and took bags and jewellery. The items had a total value of SEK 79,500. Among other things, there were a pair of Chanel shoes, several necklaces, bracelets and rings as well as bags, blazers and a dress.
The background is a debt of SEK 640,000 that Persson took on for various grants she received from Sweden when she lived in the USA and participated in “Swedish Hollywood Wives”.
Later, she got back some items that turned out to be of low value.
Persson’s belongings were supposed to be put up on the Kronofogden’s web auction in the near future, but now that will not be the case.
TV4 Nyheterna is looking for the Kronofogden and Gunilla Persson via her lawyer.
