The Swedish Tax Agency has submitted an application to the district court to request Oscar Properties Holding to go bankrupt, Expressen reports.
The property company, which is behind several exclusive housing developments in Stockholm, has been close to bankruptcy for a long time and applied for reconstruction in May.
According to the bankruptcy filing that Expressen has seen, the company has just over two million kroner in tax debts that the Kronofogden has not managed to collect.
The company’s new CEO, Richard Bagge, is, according to the newspaper, hopeful that the matter will be resolved despite the bankruptcy filing.
– We are working on a reconstruction application, which I believe we submitted today. If it is granted, this debt must be handled within the framework of that. If the restructuring application is not granted, then of course there will be bankruptcy, he tells Expressen.
The company’s stock has traded for a pittance in recent years after losing over 99.9 percent of its value from its glory days in 2017.
