The prosecutor has demanded that Daniel Kindberg be sentenced to two and a half years in prison and a restraining order for three years and also pay SEK 5.5 million to the state that confiscated the exchange of crime.
Daniel Kindberg denies the crime and his lawyer Olle Kullinger said in his closing remarks that there is no room for anything other than an acquittal, has OP previously reported.
The former chairman of Östersund’s football club Daniel Kindberg has been accused of “requesting improper benefits and then receiving them” from a supplier during the years 2014 to 2018, when he was CEO of the municipally owned housing company Östersundshem.
This must have been done by Kindberg sending 31 invoices from its own companies regarding consulting services to the supplier, who paid a total of SEK 5,545,000 to Kindberg’s companies. According to the prosecutor, these payments are to be regarded as bribes.
During the ongoing trial, Daniel Kindberg reported the prosecutor in the case, Martin Bresman, to the police because he “deliberately overlooked the absolute duty of prosecution that prosecutors have in their service”.
However, the Special Prosecutor’s Office, which handles police reports against, for example, prosecutors, decided not to initiate any preliminary investigation as a result of the report.
