In recent days, there have been fires in several places in Malmö. On Monday morning, around 04:30, the police arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of trying to start another fire.

Review Board: The Keno and Lotto programs are advertising
The review board has tested the programs Keno and Lotto draws on TV4 and finds that according to the law they are to be assessed as advertising. This is what the review committee writes in a press release.
The board states that Svenska Spel has borne costs for the productions at the same time that TV4 has received additional compensation from Svenska Spel.
Despite the fact that TV4 has called the compensation sponsorship, the board now judges that it is advertising in the sense of the Radio and Television Act and the programs therefore contravene the provision on advertisement signature.
The cases will be submitted to the administrative court when the review board has decided to apply for TV4 to pay a special fee for the violation.

If I don’t want to open an account in Swedbank, will I still get the money?
Nathalie Thor
You do not need to open an account with Swedbank, just register your bank account (regardless of which bank you have), to receive the electricity subsidy.
If you do not want to register your account, and do not receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority, you will receive a payment notice sent home.
Is it true? Noticed that an account with the pension authority is ok?
Claes
That’s right, if you have an account with the Pension Authorities, the electricity subsidy is paid out in connection with the pension.
“You who receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority do not have to do anything, you receive the money into your account as you usually receive your pension,” Swedbank writes on its website.
Yes, so I’m going to register in Swedbank’s account register for electricity support, but how do I do it then?

Amanda Hällsten wrote that Handelsbanken works now but it doesn’t
Ursula
Hey! It worked temporarily, but as you write, the bank’s services seem to be down again. We are looking for Handelsbanken’s press service and hope to be able to update you soon on how things are going.
Do you have to have an account with Swedbank in order to be paid out?
Bernie
No, but you must register your account, depending on which bank you have, in Swedbank’s account register if you want the electricity subsidy money as soon as possible.
