A 55-year-old woman has been charged with gross fraud since she, as a newlywed to a dying 85-year-old man, is suspected of having emptied his bank account of over SEK 800,000, reports P4 Västernorrland.
The woman may thus have cheated 18 people on their inheritance from the man.
According to the preliminary investigation, the couple had met a few months before the man was found to be dying. They married two days before the man died.
A relative has stated that the man was heavily influenced by medication during his last period of life.
The woman has denied wrongdoing.
