Gunilla Persson came fourth in Växjö on Saturday and thus advances to the Melodifestivalen finals with her song “I won’t shake (La la Gunilla)”.
But the following morning the Bailiff raided her hotel room and took, among other things, a pair of Chanel shoes, several necklaces, bracelets and rings as well as bags, blazers and a dress.
The foreclosed items must now be valued and then sold at auction.
– It is estimated to be worth under SEK 100,000 as it looks. We will do a preliminary valuation, then we will take it to a jeweler for a professional valuation, probably during the week, says Johannes Paulsson.
– After that, we will start sales measures. We post it on our sales site Auktionstorget.
This means that even Gunilla Persson can buy the jewelery if she wants to.
– Yes, it works much like Tradera. Anyone can shop there so she can buy it back if she wishes, says Johannes Paulsson.
– But the easiest thing would be if she paid the full amount, SEK 640,000.
Sunday’s seizure is due to a debt that Gunilla Persson incurred for various grants she received from Sweden when she lived in the United States and participated in “Swedish Hollywood Wives”.
– But the easiest thing would be to pay the entire debt, then she would get everything back, says Johannes Paulsson at the authority.
